摘要
Purpose: The aim of this randomized prospective study was to evaluate rote of early decompression in the cases of traumatic optic neuropathy in children. Materials and methods: Thirty-one children with a diagnosis of traumatic optic neuropathy were operated upon by transnasal trans-sphenoidal optic nerve decompression and the results were evaluated. Results: Patients presenting early and those who were operated early in the course of their illness showed a better recovery. Conclusion: Early intervention can help preventing the blindness in as many as 80 and of the cases following the injury. (c) 2007 Published by Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
