Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) provides high control rates for recurring ependymomas. The treatment of optic nerve tumors carries high morbidity, but SRS is an acceptable option to manage these cases to reduce risks.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>OBSERVATIONS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The authors report the case of a 31-year-old male with a cervical spinal ependymoma who had a disseminated pattern of recurrence including the optic nerve after initial resection of the cervical lesion. The optic nerve tumor was treated with SRS, and the authors discuss the technical aspects of the treatment and its outcomes.
