| Description |
The mechanism of indirect traumatic optic neuropathies, based on laser interferometer study of cadaver crania, is presumed to occur by force transmission through bone.1 We propose an alternate mechanism. Indirect traumatic optic neuropathies most commonly result from deceleration injury with force applied to the forehead. This results in propagation of a soft tissue shock wave. |
