Tree Number(s): C10.292.200.750; C10.292.700.475; C10.900.300.218.550; C11.640.530; C26.915.300.400.650
Unique ID: D020221
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D020221
Scope Note: Injuries to the optic nerve induced by a trauma to the face or head. These may occur with closed or penetrating injuries. Relatively minor compression of the superior aspect of orbit may also result in trauma to the optic nerve. Clinical manifestations may include visual loss, PAPILLEDEMA, and an afferent pupillary defect.
