Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Otolaryngology

Context:

  • Optic nerve injury often results from fractures of the orbital walls, particularly the optic canal.
  • Traditional surgical approaches carry risks and may not be suitable for all patients.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of endoscopic decompression in treating optic nerve injuries.
  • To assess visual acuity and visual field improvements post-surgery.

Summary:

  • Thirteen patients with optic canal fractures underwent endoscopic decompression, involving sinus opening and optic canal polishing.
  • Bone fragments and hematoceles were removed, preserving the optic nerve sheath.
  • Outcomes were defined by visual acuity improvement of at least one grade or visual field enhancement.

Impact:

  • Endoscopic decompression is a mini-invasive, effective surgical option for optic nerve injury.
  • The procedure leads to decreased optic nerve damage and promotes rapid patient recovery.
  • Significant visual improvements were observed in patients, including those with pre-operative vision loss.
