Abstract
articles in recent years were reviewed and analyzed and we found that optic nerve injury mainly occurred after a strike of eyebrow and forehead. Occassionally without any fracture of optic canal.The severity of lesion manifested to be the immediate loss of visual and optic canal fractures. The curative effects were often not ideal. Transcranial decompression of optic nerve in time was a reasonable alternative. For which the whole width and the whole length of the roof of optic canal must be opened. The operation had better be performed early within 10 days of injury. The effect of early use of glucocorticoidat large dosage have drown close growing attention. Transcranial decompression of optic nerve is worth popularizing for the patient with injury of the intracanalicular segment of optic nerve.
