Complete evulsion of the optic nerve.
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.
