Abstract: A method for constructing a clinically-relevant large animal model of traumatic optic neuropathy, employing a goat with orbital anatomy and optic nerve structure similar to humans as a model animal, overing the defects existing in other animals as TON model animals. The target model goat is obtained by screening parameters, such as a maximum transverse diameter of a coronal plane of a body of sphenoid bone and a wall width of a sphenoid bone, thereby facilitating the exposure of an optic nerve in a optic-canal segment under a nasal endoscopic surgery and quantitative injury. With the optic nerve injury animal model, the clinical TON pathogenesis can be explored by studying the optic nerve at the injured optic canal. In the prepared TON animal model, the injured optic nerve is closer to the brain, which is beneficial to rebuilding the synaptic connection.
