    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Ophthalmology
    • Trauma Surgery

    Background:

    • Head injuries involving the optic foramen can cause significant vision diminution.
    • Optic nerve compression requires prompt surgical consideration.

    Observation:

    • This paper details the transethmoidal decompression surgical procedure.
    • The study presents results from 10 patient cases.

    Findings:

    • Transethmoidal decompression is a viable surgical option for optic nerve decompression.
    • Early surgical intervention is correlated with good recovery of visual function.

    Implications:

    • This surgical approach offers a potential solution for vision impairment due to head trauma.
    • Further research can explore long-term outcomes and refine surgical techniques.
