The role of compression factors on the formation of secondary degenerative factors and antiand retrograde parts of the optic nerve in traumatic injuries has not been fully studied. There are several experimental models of such researches. In 2007 Jiang Y [4] proposed a model of traumatic damage to the optic nerve canal using surgical tools.

متن کاملBlinding Orbital Apex Syndrome due to Onodi Cell Mucocele
The onodi cell is a posterior ethmoidal cell that is pneumatized laterally or superiorly to the sphenoid sinus with close proximity to the optic nerve. A mucocele, a benign, expansile, cyst-like lesion of the paranasal sinuses, may uncommonly involve the onodi cell causing compression of the optic nerve and nearby structures. In this paper, we report a rare case of onodi cell mucocele causing o...
