This article discusses a case of traumatic optic neuropathy (TON) caused by high-pressure sound waves from a bomb explosion. TON is a condition characterized by severe visual loss due to axonal damage. The patient, a 23-year-old male, experienced painless vision loss in his right eye after the explosion. He was treated with intravenous methylprednisolone followed by oral prednisolone, which resulted in gradual improvement in visual acuity. This case is significant because TON caused by high-pressure sound waves is rare, and the successful treatment with steroids can provide guidance for similar cases. [Extracted from the article] |
