Endoscopic optic nerve decompression (OND) offers a minimally invasive surgical option for traumatic optic nerve injuries. This approach provides benefits such as reduced morbidity and faster recovery compared to traditional methods.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Otolaryngology

Background:

  • Traumatic optic nerve injuries require management, with options including observation, medical therapy, and surgical decompression.
  • Traditional surgical optic nerve decompression (OND) methods involve neurosurgical or craniotomy approaches, extranasal transethmoidal, transorbital, transantral, and intranasal microscopic techniques.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss the authors' technique for endonasal endoscopic optic nerve decompression (OND).
  • To review the medical management, surgical indications, and outcomes of 22 patients who underwent endoscopic OND.

Main Methods:

  • The study details the endonasal endoscopic approach for OND, a technique employed since 1991.
  • This method is compared to traditional surgical approaches, highlighting its advantages.

Main Results:

  • Endoscopic OND demonstrates significant benefits over traditional methods, including decreased morbidity and preservation of olfaction.
  • Patients experience rapid recovery, improved cosmetic results (no external scars), and reduced risk of injury to developing teeth in children.
  • The procedure is less stressful for patients with multisystem trauma.

Conclusions:

  • Endonasal endoscopic OND is the preferred surgical approach at the authors' institution for patients requiring optic nerve decompression.
  • This minimally invasive technique offers a favorable risk-benefit profile for managing traumatic optic nerve injuries.
