Abstract | Objectives: To determine the efficacy and safety of Optic Nerve Sheath Fenestration (ONSF) for salvaging acutely threatened vision in patients of Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH). Methods: This retrospective, interventional case series study was performed at Institute of Ophthalmology Mayo Hospital Lahore from September 2017 to September 2019. Nine patients diagnosed with Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension as per Modified Dandy Criteria, underwent medial trans-conjunctival ONSF. Pre-operative and 1 Results: All nine patients were female with a mean age of 24 years. The average best-corrected pre-operative logMAR visual acuity (BCVA) in the better eye was 0.5 ± 0.28 and in the worse eye was 1.0 ± 0.57. After the worse eye ONSF, at 1 Conclusion: Optic nerve sheath fenestration is effective as well as a safe surgical procedure to salvage acutely threatened vision in patients of Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension on maximal medical treatment. |
