Traumatic Optic Neuropathy Accompanying Orbital Grease Gun Injury
We report a case of traumatic optic neuropathy accompanying a grease gun injury to the orbit. A 48-year-old man with a grease gun injury visited our clinic with decreased visual acuity, proptosis and limited extraocular movement (EOM). Orbital CT revealed a crescent mass of fat in the medial intraconal space. The grease was exuded from a lacerated conjunctival wound. The visual evoked potential...
متن کاملTraumatic ischaemic optic neuropathy.
Persistent profound visual loss following contusion of the globe or ocular adnexae has been well documented, the visual loss being attributed to haemorrhage into, or contusion of, the optic nerve, or to interference with the blood supply of the eye. The patient described below presented after a contusion of the eye and orbit, with the clinical picture of ischaemic optic neuropathy presumably re...
متن کاملIndirect traumatic optic neuropathy
Indirect traumatic optic neuropathy (ITON) refers to optic nerve injury resulting from impact remote to the optic nerve. The mechanism of injury is not understood, and there are no confirmed protocols for prevention, mitigation or treatment. Most data concerning this condition comes from case series of civilian patients suffering blunt injury, such as from sports- or motor vehicle-related concu...
متن کاملTraumatic optic neuropathy.
Introduction: Traumatic optic nerve damage after craniofacial injury was first described by Hippocrates.1 Although the natural history of traumatic optic neuropathy is unknown, recent studies suggest that high dose steroids and, even surgical decompression of the optic canal or the nerve sheath (in cases of nerve sheath hematoma) may restore vision in selected patients.2-8 The commonest cause o...
متن کاملPredictive value of visual evoked potentials, relative afferent pupillary defect, and orbital fractures in patients with traumatic optic neuropathy
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to determine the predictive value of flash visual-evoked potentials (VEP), relative afferent pupillary defect, and presence of orbital fractures in patients with traumatic optic neuropathy. METHODS A prospective study was conducted in 15 patients with indirect traumatic optic neuropathy. All patients underwent a thorough ophthalmic examination. Initial...
