title: [Post-traumatic decompression of the optic nerve. Ophthalmologic and x-ray computed tomographic evaluation. Results in a series of 23 cases].
abstract: Post traumatic optic nerve compression gives a Clinic picture of physiological section. CT Scan is consistent with optic canal lesion when considering direct signs (bony fragments compressing the nerve) or indirect (fractures and hematoma of posterior orbital wall, of posterior ethmoid, and sphenoid). 23 patients had a surgical decompression through transethmoidosphenoidal approach. A lesion of optic canal was found in 22 out of 23 cases. Improvement of vision was noted in 12 cases.
