Traumatic optic nerve avulsion.
A 10-year-old boy presented with optic nerve avulsion associated with ptosis and limitation of elevation and adduction secondary to blunt ocular trauma. At the initial examination the funduscopic view was hazy because of concurrent vitreous hemorrhage. Ultrasonography revealed a posterior ocular wall defect and a hypolucent area in the region of the optic nerve head.
