[Transdermal electrostimulation of optic nerves in neurosurgical patients with vision disorders].
Transcutaneous electrostimulation of optic nerves after Ye. B. Kompaneyets et al. (1985) was used in the treatment of 203 neurosurgical patients aged 5 to 65 years with vision disorders. Improvement of visual functions (vision acuity and/or visual field) was attained in 112 (55.2%) patients. No changes were observed in 91 (44.8%) patients. The authors investigated the relationship between the efficacy of transcutaneous electrostimulation of optic nerves and neurosurgical disease, status of visual function, history of vision disorders, ophthalmoscopic picture, and electrophysiological parameters. The best results were achieved in patients with traumatic injuries of the optic route at the base of the brain, with cerebrovascular aneurysms, and the hypertensive hydrocephalic syndrome. The results depended on the history and stage of vision disorders.
