5 months old with eye deviation. Axial T2-weighted (a) and coronal T2-weighted fat-saturated (b) images demonstrate fusiform enlargement of the bilateral optic nerves, right greater than left (white arrows), with associated deviation of the right globe. Postcontrast axial (c) and coronal ((d), (e)) T1WI with fat saturation demonstrate diffuse enhancement of the optic nerves (double white arrow) with extension into the optic chiasm (black arrow). This is compatible with bilateral optic nerve gliomas and is virtually diagnostic of neurofibromatosis type 1.
