V135: ENDOSCOPIC OPTIC CANAL DECOMPRESSION - TRAUMATIC OPTIC NEUROPATHY
Antonio Strangio, MD; Jean-Michel Bourque, MD; Martin Côté, MD; Pierre-Olivier Champagne, PhD, MD; Laval University Hospital Centre
Traumatic optic neuropathy (TON) consists of damage to the optic nerve following head injury and affects about 0.5% to 5% of patients with closed head injuries. It is characterized by a sudden decrease in visual acuity and/or visual field loss. The treatment can be conservative or surgical (transcranial, transorbital and trans-sphenoidal corridors). We describe the technical nuances of endoscopic endonasal approach for compressive TON as a valid option to treat this condition.
