title: Complete evulsion of the optic nerve.
abstract: Evulsion of the optic nerve is an uncommon traumatic event, probably because the intraorbital portion of the optic nerve is mobile and surrounded by sheaths. The present paper reports a case of complete evulsion of the optic nerve with retinal detachment and discusses the possible patho mechanisms involved. Fluorescein angiography showed no retinal circulation.
