title: Neuropathological findings in lesions of the optic nerve of different etiologies.
abstract: Cases of optic nerve lesions of various origins are described. These were seen in a systematic study of 59 autopsy cases with underlying neurological or neurosurgical diseases. The characteristic morphological signs of direct and indirect as well as primary and secondary lesions are discussed. Circulatory complications in cases with increased intracranial pressure are stressed.
