The 10th most common cause of mortality for both men and women is brain and other nervous system cancer. These tumors can cause serious ocular signs and symptoms as well as neurologic complications due to increased intracranial pressure, cranial nerve disturbances, or brain compression. CT and MRI are the modalities most commonly used to evaluate visual disturbances around the visual pathway. MRI is the preferred imaging modality for evaluating tumors because it does not use X-rays but uses a magnetic field, producing clearer images
