Summary
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) aids in diagnosing acute optic nerve head (ONH) avulsion. However, OCT findings diminish in clarity over time, making diagnosis challenging in chronic cases.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Neuroscience
- Medical Imaging
Background:
- Optic nerve head (ONH) avulsion is a rare but serious injury.
- Accurate and timely diagnosis is crucial for appropriate management.
- Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive imaging technique.
