Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Ophthalmology
  • Trauma Surgery

Context:

  • Skull base fractures frequently cause optic nerve injury, leading to vision loss.
  • Traumatic optic neuropathy (TON) presents a significant challenge in neurotrauma management.
  • Surgical intervention aims to decompress the optic nerve and improve visual outcomes.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the operative indications and efficacy of transcranial optic nerve decompression for traumatic optic neuropathy.
  • To analyze the relationship between injury type and surgical outcomes.
  • To determine the effectiveness of this procedure in patients with varying degrees of vision loss.

Summary:

  • A retrospective analysis of 118 patients with traumatic optic neuropathy treated with transcranial optic nerve decompression.

  • Postoperative outcomes were assessed based on visual acuity and visual field improvement after a 6-month follow-up.
  • The overall effective rate was 68.6%, with 100% effectiveness in patients with residual vision and 48.6% in those with pre-operative blindness.

    • Impact:

    • Transcranial optic nerve decompression is a recommended treatment for traumatic optic neuropathy.
    • The procedure demonstrates high efficacy, particularly in patients with residual vision.
    • Indications include residual vision, bilateral optic nerve injury, and blindness within 3 days.
