Utility of optic nerve ultrasonography in head injury

AbstractDiminution of vision following head injuries involving the optic canal is not uncommon. In order to find how a blunt trauma to the frontotemporal region produced damage to the optic nerve inits canalicular this study was conducted on cadaveric skulls and its results are described.

AbstractSixty-three patients with loss of vision following head injury were subjected to decompression of the optic nerve by the transethmoid route. This paper discusses the criteria for selection of patients for surgery, the results of the operation and the prognostic factors determining the results.
