A Case with Traumatic Optic Neurpathy: When, What to Do?
Traumatic optic neuropathy (TON) is characterized by impaired visual function due to acute damage to the optic nerve injury related to the trauma. The predictive incidence of TON in children and adolescence is 0.7-2.5% after blunt or penetrating head injuries. Orbital trauma is often accompanied by...

The intubated patient was admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit after trauma and was operated due to epidural hemorrhage.
