| Description |
In indirect traumatic optic neuropathy, force is transmitted from the point of impact to the optic nerve. Although the exact mechanism is not well elucidated, injury presumably occurs by force transmission through the bones. An alternate theory involves soft tissue 'shockwave' amplification of a posteriorly propagating pressure wave. Consistent with this, a previous study demonstrated high frequency oscillations consistent with reflected shockwave components within the soft tissues of cadaver orbits after anterior blunt trauma. |
