Description |
Unlike other cranial nerves, the optic nerve (ON) is covered by the meninges and surrounded by cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Its cul-de-sac anatomy, with unidirectional CSF influx from the chiasmal cistern into the subarachnoid space (SAS), renders its axons vulnerable to damage from elevated pressure or toxic substances. |
