Orbital Fracture Resulting in Contralateral Optic Canal Fracture with Traumatic Optic Neuropathy: A Case Report
Imaging may fail to detect OCF, and visual prognosis depends on time to surgery and fracture pattern. Therefore, operative management and preoperative intravenous corticosteroids, though controversial, may be considered even in the absence of radiographic findings of bony impingement causing direct TON. Isolated OCF without continuous fractures originating at the injury site is also a rare fracture pattern and potential cause of direct TON.
