Treatment for traumatic optic neuropathy, including corticosteroids or surgery, improves vision more than observation alone. Further research is needed to determine the most effective treatment approach for this condition.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Neurology
  • Trauma Surgery

Background:

  • Management of traumatic optic neuropathy (TON) is debated.
  • Previous reports suggest improvement with observation, corticosteroids, or surgical decompression.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review and meta-analyze published literature on traumatic optic neuropathy.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of English and selected non-English case series and reports.
  • Cases graded by visual acuity and fracture type/location (Grades 1-4).
  • Meta-analysis of visual acuity recovery based on treatment, fracture pattern, and grade.

Main Results:

  • Treated patients showed significantly better vision recovery than untreated patients.

  • No significant difference in outcomes between corticosteroids alone, surgery alone, or combined treatment.
  • Recovery correlated with injury severity; less severe injuries and absence of orbital fractures showed better outcomes.

    • Conclusions:

    • Corticosteroids, extracranial decompression, or both, are superior to no treatment for TON.
    • Insufficient data to definitively rank the effectiveness of different treatment modalities.
    • A developed grading system aids in comparing studies and treatment protocols.
