Abstract
Objective To observe the effect of treating traumatic optic neuropathy(TON)through the visual evoked potential(VEP).Methods 35cases of traumatic optic neuropathy were devided into three groups randomly,treated with routine management,routine management plus methyl-prednisone and hyperbaric oxygen(HBO)combined with methyl-prednisone,observed the difference of the latent period and amplitudes of VEP after treatment.Results The amplitudes of VEP was significant differently in methyl-prednisone and HBO combined with methyl-prednisone treatment groups compared with the routine management group(P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The VEP determination has certain clinical value in the injury of the optive nerve.The VEP results show that the treatment with the basic management plus methyl-prednisone and HBO early can improve the function of the optic nerve. Key words: Visual evoked potential; Traumatic optic neuropathy; Hyperbaric oxygen
