Question
A 6-month-old baby cannot lift their head independently but can roll over, has normal appetite, and shows no other abnormal symptoms. They occasionally experience tremors. What are the best treatment methods for optic nerve atrophy?
Answer
Optic nerve atrophy can be caused by various factors, including inflammation, degeneration, brain edema, trauma, poisoning, demyelination, and genetic diseases. Therefore, identifying the cause and treating it specifically is the most effective approach. For instance, if the cause is inflammation, antibiotics and corticosteroids may be necessary; if it’s due to a tumor, surgery might be required.
