Abstract
- The visual loss owing to acute optic nerve injury after blunt head trauma has been reported about 5% at the incidence. But it has been real circumstances that we still don`t have the exact knowlege about surgical indication, operation time and steroid dosage for this candidate. Lately, endoscopic surgery was introduced for treatment of orbital disease instead of classic external approach and we have performed and report endoscoic endonasal optic canal decompression followed by megadose steroid injection in 5 patients who experienced visual loss due to optic canal fracture following trauma.
