Question
A 6-month-old baby cannot lift her head, can roll over, and has normal appetite. She has no significant abnormalities, but sometimes she trembles. What should be done about traumatic optic nerve atrophy?
Answer
Traumatic optic nerve atrophy following an eye injury should be treated as soon as possible with high-dose hormone therapy or with orbital optic nerve detoxification surgery via nasal endoscopy. Additionally, the baby should actively participate in physical exercise after the injury to maintain physical and mental health, and keep personal hygiene.
