What should be done about traumatic optic atrophy?

Patient's question:

A 6-month-old baby cannot lift their head, can roll over, has a normal appetite, and shows no significant abnormalities, but sometimes they experience tremors. What should be done if there is trauma and optic atrophy?

Doctor's answer:

If vision nerve atrophy is caused by ocular trauma, it is usually considered traumatic optic nerve damage. For this condition, the best treatment effect is achieved by early intervention after the injury. After trauma, early high-dose hormone therapy or early endoscopic sinus surgery for orbital optic nerve decompression can also achieve certain effects. In the later stage of trauma, there are no effective methods for treatment. Actively participate in physical exercise, regulate physical and mental health, and maintain personal hygiene.
