Abstract
Traumatic optic neuropathy (TON) is a severe and potentially blinding condition. Even though the role of surgical decompression is still debatable, many surgeons think that surgical decompression will be beneficial to selected cases. In this chapter, we will discuss how to perform endoscopic trans-ethmoid optic canal decompression (ETOCD) in TON.
