Optic nerve decompression in head injuries

The Journal of Laryngology & Otology, 1981
AbstractDiminution of vision arising from head injuries involving the optic foramen can be treated by transethmoidal decompression of the optic froamen can be treated by transethomidal decompression of the optic nerve. Early surgery is associated with good recovery of function.

Ischemic model of optic nerve injury

American Journal of Ophthalmology, 2006
It is proposed that the anterior optic nerve is specifically susceptible to microcirculatory compromise contributing to the development of glaucomatous optic neuropathy.Ischemic optic neuropathy was induced by delivering endothelin-1 (ET-1) to the retrobulbar space in one eye of 12 primates for 6 to 12 months.

Indirect injury to the optic nerves and optic chiasm

Neuro-Ophthalmology, 1987
Abstract. Twenty-five cases of indirect injury to the optic nerve or chiasm following blunt trauma to the head were retrospectively reviewed. Falls onto the head and road traffic accidents together accounted for most (88%) of the head injuries. Bony skull fractures were identified in 23 cases (92%), although in only five of these (20%) was one of the ...

Utility of optic nerve ultrasonography in head injury

Injury, 2008
CT has evolved as the gold standard for evaluation of head injury, but early CT is not always possible. Bedside ultrasonography is available in most trauma units and optic nerve ultrasound (ONUS) examination should be feasible.To evaluate the role of ONUS for people with head injury.Tertiary care trauma service in a teaching hospital in a large ...
