Abstract
Traumatic optic neuropathy can be treated by various methods including high-dose steroids and surgical decompression. Neurosurgical decompression could be required in patients with mechanical compression of the optic nerve by displaced orbital roof fracture fragments. We describe two patients of traumatic optic neuropathy due to orbital roof fracture who had improved pupil reflex and visual acuity after decompression of the optic nerve.
