Abstract
Direct traumatic optic neuropathy is a rare complication of endoscopic sinus surgery and can result in irreversible damage to the optic nerve. We report a case of direct traumatic optic neuropathy after transnasal endoscopic orbital decompression for Graves's disease in a patient who experienced near-complete recovery of vision. We discuss possible mechanisms. Copyright (c) 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.Entities:
