Abstract
PEREZ GARCIA, Eliecer et al. Traumatic optic neuropathy. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2012, vol.25, suppl.2, pp. 590-599. ISSN 0864-2176.
Traumatic optic neuropathy, in its different modalities, is a rare entity. It is the damage of the optic nerve resulting from a traumatic episode. The classification depends on its topography and causative mechanisms. Although there has been better understanding of the causative mechanisms in the last few years, the management is still an extremely controversial topic.
