S-Index Interpretation
The S-Index (Sharing Index) is a comprehensive metric that represents the cumulative impact of all your datasets. It is calculated as the sum of Dataset Index scores across all your claimed datasets.
What it means:
- A higher S-index indicates greater overall impact of your datasets relative to typical datasets in their fields of research
- The S-Index grows as you add more datasets or as existing datasets gain more citations and mentions
- It provides a single number to track your research data impact over time
Current S-Index: 1.7 (sum of 2 datasets Dataset Index scores)

Introduction: Pediatric optic nerve sheath meningiomas (ONSMs) are rare in children and have an aggressive presentation in the pediatric population often resulting in rapid vision decline. Here, we report a case of right cavernous sinus meningioma (CSM) with delayed diagnosis of concomitant bilateral ONSM, ultimately leading to permanent bilateral blindness. Case presentation: A 7-year-old boy with a history of right trochlear nerve palsy and amblyopia presented with worsening right eye vision. An MRI revealed a right CSM that was resected however the patient experienced progressive visual acuity decline from 20/60 right eye and 20/40 left eye to light perception right eye and 20/400 left eye, along with bilateral optic atrophy appreciated on optical coherence tomography. Repeat evaluation of the brain MRIs revealed bilateral ONSM characterized by a tram-track appearance. Visual acuity remained unimproved 3 years after optic canal decompression with optic nerve sheath fenestration followed by proton beam radiation.Conclusion: Pediatric ONSM is rare, with high risk of permanent blindness in children. Intracranial meningioma and unexplained painless vision loss should prompt careful evaluation of orbital neuroimaging for this condition.
