[Evaluation for therapeutic efficacy of decompression of optic nerve canal in 121 cases].
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of decompression of optic nerve canal in the eye with indirect nerve injury in the optic nerve canal.


METHODS
121 patients with indirect injury of optic nerve in the canal were selected and decompression of optic nerve canal was performed on them. Then the outcomes were reviewed and analyzed.


RESULTS
Visual acuities of 76 patients (62.81%) were improved.


CONCLUSIONS
It is obvious that decompression of optic nerve canal is associated with significant improvement in cases with good preoperative vision. In cases without light perception, treatment of steroids and dehydrant should be firstly applied, afterwards according to the patient's individual situation, selectively the case is to perform the operation. Thus the therapeutic effectiveness can be greatly elevated. Decompression of optic nerve canal is safe and reliable.
