METHODS： From July 1 st, 2012 to July 1 st, 2015, 224 adults diagnosed with ITON who underwent endoscopic transethmosphenoid optic canal decompression（ETOCD） were reviewed. Visual outcome before and after treatment were taken into comparison. RESULTS： Accompanied older in age, longer time to medical treatment and existence of optic canal fracture（OCF） were the independent predictors for poor postoperative VA and lower improvement degree of visual acuity（IDVA）, while worse preoperative VA was predictive factor for poor postoperative VA only. Mean value of IDVA in patients with OCF was 0.19±0.30. Mean value of IDVA in patients without OCF was 0.29±0.35. IDVA in cases without OCF was significant higher than those with OCF（t=2.272, P〈0.05）. CONCLUSION： Patients suffered from ITON without OCF before ETOCD have better surgical outcome than those with OCF. Older in age, longer time to medical treatment and existence of OCF are independent factors for poor VA prognosis and lower IDVA. Preoperative VA is independent factor for VA prognosis only.展开更多

METHODS: Patients presented as newly onset ITON(suffered trauma within 3 d) at a tertiary medical center between Mar 1 st, 2016 and Mar 1 st, 2018 were enrolled in this study. All patients were equally and randomly divided into 2 groups. Cases in group A were performed ETOCD immediately after admition while cases in group B were prescribed by methylprednisolone(20 mg/kg · d) for 3 d before ETOCD. Methylprednisolone(20 mg/kg · d) was used after surgery for 6 d in group A and 3 d in group B. Follow-up was up to 3 mo in all cases. Visual acuity(VA) before and after treatment between the two groups were taken into comparison. RESULTS: Complete postoperative data were acquired from 34 patients in group A and from 32 patients in group B. Group A had significantly higher effective rate in VA than group B(χ~2 =4.905, P=0.027).CONCLUSION: For patients with newly onset ITON, combination treatment of ETOCD with high-dose steroid is an effective and safe way. Immediate surgery will lead to better prognosis for these cases.展开更多
