Outcome of Endoscopic Optic Nerve Decompression for Traumatic Optic Neuropathy.

CONCLUSIONS: EOND is beneficial for TON not responding to steroid therapy and can prevent permanent disability if earlier intervention is done prior to irreversible damage to the nerve. Endoscopic optic nerve surgery can decompress the traumatic and edematous optic nerve with proper exposure of optic canal and orbital apex without any major complications. The operation timing and residual vision are important factors affecting outcomes. PMID: 32627571 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
