Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the significance of transnasal endoscopic optic decompression in traumatic optic neuropathy. METHODS Four patients with blindness from traumatic optic neuropathy were treated with transnasal endoscopic optic decompression. RESULTS Two patients improved in visual acuity to CF/50 cm and light perception. Two patients didn’t improve after surgery. CONCLUSION Transnasal endoscopic optic decompression is significant in the management of traumatic optic neuropathy due its effectiveness and minimal invasiveness. It’s implications can be enlarged under some circumstances.
