Purpose:
|
To evaluate the visual outcome following mega dose corticosteroid therapy in indirect traumatic optic neuropathy (ITON).
|
|
Methods:
|
In the retrospective study, the medical records of 18 patients who were treated with intravenous mega dose methylprednisolon due to ITON were evaluated. Mega dose methylprednisolone was administered to all patients during the first 3 days after trauma. The main outcome measures were visual acuity at 3 months after treatment (final visual outcome).
|
|
Results:
|
Visual acuity at presentation for 18 patients ranged from no light perception to 1.85 log mar .The mean age of patients was 28.27±7.73 years old. No visual improvement was noted in patients with initial visual acuity of no light perception or light perception. There was no statistically significant difference between the initial and final visual outcome (P =0.08) in patients with initial visual acuity of 2.3 log mar or better.
|
|
Conclusion:
|
Our results demonstrate that the mega dose corticosteroid therapy has no significant effect on visual outcome of ITON.
