| Description |
Traumatic avulsion of the optic nerve is an unusual form of traumatic optic neuropathy characterized by disruption of the axons at the level of the optic nerve due to penetrating or non-penetrating trauma. These patients generally have a poor prognosis and are often seen late with scarring. Recognition at the time of injury is often difficult because of associated damage to the anterior segment or blood within the vitreous. |
