Abstract
The aim of this randomized prospective study was to evaluate role of early decompression in the cases of traumatic optic neuropathy in children. Thirty-one children with a diagnosis of traumatic optic neuropathy were operated upon by transnasal trans-sphenoidal optic nerve decompression and the results were evaluated. Patients presenting early and those who were operated early in the course of their illness showed a better recovery. Early intervention can help preventing the blindness in as many as 80 and of the cases following the injury.
