Abstract

Traumatic optic neuropathy is a complication that arises due to head injury, high velocity road traffic accidents causing maxillofacial trauma. Due to involvement of optic nerve which endangers vision, there is a race against to save the vision. Endoscopic optic nerve decompression is a useful procedure for optic nerve decompression. We report a case of ischaemic optic neuropathy following road traffic accident, who underwent endoscopic optic nerve decompression within 6 hours of injury.
