TY - JOUR PY - 1997// TI - Globe tenting as a result of head trauma JO - AJNR. American journal of neuroradiology A1 - Hrach, C. J. A1 - Quint, D. J. SP - 980 EP - 982 VL - 18 IS - 5 N2 - Ocular tenting in the setting of acute trauma, inflammatory processes, or carotid cavernous fistulas is reported to be associated with a poor outcome with respect to visual acuity. Therefore, acute decompressive intervention is recommended for these patients. We report a case of acute posttraumatic ocular tenting with acute visual compromise that resolved over 4 days with conservative management and intravenous corticosteroid therapy.
