Abstract:
Traumatic optic nerve injury is common in patients with traumatic brain injury,mainly in young adults.The optic nerve has no regenerative function,leaving problems of visual field defect and loss of vision and causing high disability rate among patients with traumatic brain injury.The current clinical treatments of traumatic optic nerve injury are hormonotherapy and decompression of optic nerve canal,lacking definite clinical efficacy and treatment norm.In recent years,a series of brand new treatments,such as neuroprotective drugs,neurotrophic factor therapy,nerve transplantation,stem cell therapy and gene therapy,have offered new perspectives for solving the problem of high disability rate of traumatic optic nerve injury clinically.This article attempts to summarize the status quo and latest progress in clinical treatment of traumatic optic nerve injury based on relevant literature in recent years,which can serve as reference for clinicians in choosing the optimal therapeutic regimen.
