There are presented two rare cases of bilateral and simultaneous OACR. In the last year's literature there were founded a few cases of bilateral and simultaneous OACR described as occurring during other diseases. After the clinic and laboratory investigation, the authors consider the two cases' etiopathogenesis being part: first of a ischemic anterior arterial neuropathy and the second case part of a nonarterial neuropathy. Further, there are commented the manifestations and the immediate therapy of the ischemic optic neuropathy. Finally, the authors propose the immediate use of corticosteroids in high doses simultaneous with the classic treatment: vasodilators , anticoagulant drugs, thrombolytic agents. The purposes are to save the affected eye and especially to prevent the appearance of the disease to the second one.

[Therapeutic failures in indirect injuries to the optic nerve].

Making an analysis during five years, the authors find a great number of atrophies of optic nerve after indirect trauma on the orbital area or an the head, questioning if the treatment applied had been correct. Studying the literature they find the same feeble results and controversial opinions regarding the therapy of these cases. On tried treatments with macrodoses of dexamethazone i.v., the opening of optic nerve's health or of the optic nerve's duct, the vacating of the retrobulbar haematomas, but the results remained unsatisfying. The problem is if we must console ourselves that the others have the same feeble results or we must try to add to the conservatory treatment applied till now the neurosurgical investigations of the optic duct and heaths of the optic nerve, especially when the vision is lowering progressively and especially when the other eye is also implied.
