ABSTRACT

-Two patients operated on because of skull base meningiomas experienced delayed ischemic optic neuropathy with loss of vision in one eye on days 6 and 12 after surgery. Treatment with nimodipine and rheological therapy was effective in restoring visual acuity. Possible pathophysiological mechanisms and treatment options are discussed.
