[Blindness following orbital reconstruction].
A 20 year old patient who suffered from contusion of the optic nerve due to a complex craniofacial fracture, developed, after orbital reconstruction for sequelae of the fracture, loss of light perception which was transiently improved by drug treatment. The clinical and electrophysiological course suggest the presence of ischaemic optic neuropathy.
