The aim of the study was to evaluate the treatment of indirect traumatic optic neuropathy (ITON). ITON is defined as traumatic loss of vision that occurs without external or initial ophthalmoscopic evidence of injury to the eye or its nerve. The optimal management of ITON remains controversial. History, clinical findings and treatment of two cases of ITON with high-dose corticosteroids are desc...
متن کاملTraumatic Optic Neuropathy [TON] - A Review
It is generally presumed that penetrating injuries of the orbit are associated with direct optic nerve injury. The incidence of TON after craniofacial trauma has been reported to be 0.5-1.5 % in older series. However, recent surveys report a higher figure; 2-5 % . This increased incidence may represent the diagnosis of subtle forms of TON closer to the time of injury. These types of cases appea...
