Traumatic optic neuropathy (TON) consists of damage to the optic nerve following head injury and affects ~0.5 to 5% of patients with closed head injuries. It is characterized by a sudden decrease in visual acuity and/or visual field loss. The treatment can be conservative or surgical (transcranial, transorbital, and trans-sphenoidal corridors). We describe the technical nuances of endoscopic endonasal approach for compressive TON as a valid option to treat this condition.
