Computerized tomography has been used to examine 10 patients with cranial injuries aftereffects presenting as optic nerve atrophies (Group 1), 24 patients with nontraumatic optic nerve atrophies (Group 2), and 89 subjects without optic nerve abnormalities. Density asymmetry in the projection of the optic nerve canal cranial openings has been the computerized tomography sign that indicated the involvement of the optic nerve in Group 1 patients. Increased pneumatization of the main bone sinus has been detected 2 times more frequently in Group 2 patients.
