Patient's question:
Due to the head being hit by gravity, a small blood clot is compressing the visual nerve, causing blindness. Does it require surgery? If medication is used, what medication is relatively better?Doctor's answer:
This condition is a secondary optic nerve injury, and no medication can cure it. The cause of the onset is post-injury bleeding followed by secondary sterile inflammation that damages the optic nerve. Treatment must be initiated before the affected optic nerve undergoes ischemic atrophy, otherwise, once the treatment window is missed, the affected optic nerve will atrophy and die, making recovery impossible.The treatment plan involves a combination of Chinese and Western medicine to eliminate primary and secondary blood edema and their damage to the nerves, enhance and improve local blood circulation around the injured nerves to nourish them, soften scars to prevent damaged nerve tissue from degenerating and becoming non-recoverable, and activate and stimulate paralyzed, shock-induced nerves to achieve the best possible recovery of vision and other functions.
If you need assistance, please provide the MRI scans taken at the time of onset and the most recent MRI images for guidance.
