AB  - The vision loss in the Traumatic Optic Neuropathy is the impact of deformational 
      forces. This occurs due to direct or indirect injuries during trauma to skull. 
      The use of high dose corticosteroids is the primary line of treatment in such 
      injuries still remains a matter of debate. Traumatic Optic Neuropathy is yet an 
      unexplored topic of study in Ayurveda. The Traumatic Optic Neuropathy can be 
      correlated with Abhighatajanya Vataprakopaj Drishtinash. The treatment principles 
      of Vataprakopaj Vyadhi are Snehan (massage), Swedan (sudation), Basti (enema) and 
      Nasya (oleation through nasal route). A 50 year old male patient came to 
      outpatient department suffered from motorcycle accident and had a forehead trauma 
      followed by loss of vision in both eyes after 5 days and diagnosed as Traumatic 
      Optic Neuropathy. An electrophysiological assessment showed absence of waveform 
      in Visual Evoked Potential (VEP). According to Ayurveda patient was diagnosed 
      primarily as Abhighatajanya Vataprakopaj Drishtinash and started to follow the 
      protocol of Vataprakopaj Vyadhi. Patient received Ayurvedic formulations in 
      morning, after meal and at night for 12 months and a course of Yapan Basti 
      (medicated decoction enema) followed by Netratarpan (eye satiation), Nasya and 
      Abhyanga (body and foot massage). Patient showed an improvement in the visual 
      quality from no perception of light to perception of light and rays in right eye 
      in 9 month. Patient had improvement in P100 latencies of right eye in VEP report 
      and subjective improvement in quality of vision to perceive the images and 
      objects. Application of Ayurvedic principles and Panchakarma therapy resulted in 
      improvement of the case. An early management of Traumatic Optic Neuropathy with 
      Ayurvedic treatment can have a significant impact on the clinical/visual outcome 
      in terms of recovery in damaged optic nerve fibers.
