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. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
