Role of delayed wider endoscopic optic decompression for traumatic optic neuropathy: a single-center surgical experience.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The aim of the present study was to discuss the efficacy of delayed wider endoscopic optic decompression in traumatic optic neuropathy (TON).

Methods

A total of 479 patients were treated with corticosteroids and delayed wider endoscopic optic decompression, including the injury-to-surgery interval, within 2 weeks in patients with no light perception (NLP), and within 1 month in patients with residual eyesight. Based on the traditional decompression range, the superior wall of the optic canal was further decompressed. The preoperative and postoperative visual acuities (VAs) were reviewed, and the therapeutic efficacy was analyzed.

Results

The final VA was 0.1 or better in 29 cases, finger count in 79 cases, hand motion in 99 cases, light perception (LP) in 2
