Bilateral complete optic nerve head avulsion

The case of a 17-year-old boy who suffered a bilateral optic nerve head avulsion following severe facial trauma from a motor vehicle accident is reported. The diagnosis was based on clinical evaluation of both fundi and serial fundus photographs. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first case of bilateral optic nerve head avulsion to be documented, although rare incidences of unilateral events have been reported
