[Endoscopic optic nerve decompression in traumatic visual loss].

OBJECTIVE

To review our experience of treatment of optic nerve decompression in traumatic visual loss by using endoscopic technique.

METHOD: Fourteen cases patients with traumatic visual loss were undergone endoscopic optic nerve decompression. All patients were followed up for 3-18 months.

RESULT: Eight cases had improved visual acuity, and 6 cases did not. No complication had happened.

CONCLUSION

Endoscopic optic nerve decompression is an appropriate technique for patients with traumatic visual loss. Even though high-dose steroid treatment has failed, optic nerve decompression may improve visual acuity.
