Optic nerve regeneration.
Retinal ganglion cells are usually not able to regenerate their axons after optic nerve injury or degenerative disorders, resulting in lifelong visual loss. This situation can be partially reversed by activating the intrinsic growth state of retinal ganglion cells, maintaining their viability, and counteracting inhibitory signals in the extracellular environment. Advances during the past few ye...
متن کاملEffect of scuba-diving on optic nerve and sheath diameters
Background :There is not any data available about the effect of high bar pressure condition on intracranial pressure. In this study, the effect of diving on the optic nerve and sheath diameters as non-invasive markers of intracranial pressure has been investigated. Methods : Twenty professional male divers from twenty one volunteers were chosen for this cross-sectional study. Only one perso...
متن کاملAcute optic neuropathy in Behçet disease.
PURPOSE To report a patient with Behcet disease presenting with acute optic neuropathy. METHODS A 47-year-old man was admitted to the authors' clinic owing to sudden visual loss in the left eye. Ophthalmologic and systemic examinations were performed. RESULTS Visual acuity was 4/10 in the left eye. Fundus examination demonstrated swollen optic disc with blurred margins.

متن کاملComparison of Optic Disc Morphology of Optic Nerve Atrophy between Compressive Optic Neuropathy and Glaucomatous Optic Neuropathy
OBJECTIVES To compare the optic nerve head (ONH) structure between compressive optic neuropathy (CON) and glaucomatous optic neuropathy (GON), and to determine whether selected ONH quantitative parameters effectively discriminate between GON and CON, especially CON cases presenting with a glaucoma-like disc. METHODS We prospectively assessed 34 patients with CON, 34 age-matched patients with ...
متن کاملExploring Optic Nerve Axon Regeneration
BACKGROUND Traumatic optic nerve injury is a leading cause of irreversible blindness across the world and causes progressive visual impairment attributed to the dysfunction and death of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). To date, neither pharmacological nor surgical interventions are sufficient to halt or reverse the progress of visual loss. Axon regeneration is critical for functional recovery of ...
