Transethmoid-sphenoid decompression has been performed on 11 patients with indirect optic nerve injury. Visual improvement occurred in 8 patients, including 4 patients with initial total blindness. Optic neuropathy improved even when there was a long interval, up to 92 days, between trauma and decompression. There is still controversy about the treatment of traumatic optic neuropathy. Our results suggest that surgery can be helpful in the management of this condition. Transethmoid-sphenoid optic nerve decompression is a minimally invasive procedure that gave, in this series, satisfactory results with low morbidity.
