Historical Perspective
- The earliest mention of gliomas in the literature dates back to the late 19th century (1850-1870).
- Most reported cases involved retinal gliomas which were more easily detected and sampled. [1]
- Publications from Virchow in Germany were the earliest to distinguish retinal neuroglia from other connective tissue. This allowed the classification of these tumors as gliomata rather than sarcomas. [2][3]
