Visual Outcomes of Optic Nerve Sheath Fenestration versus Dural Venous Sinus Stenting for Pseudotumor Cerebri

Current treatment options for pseudotumor cerebri (PTC) include medical therapy, cerebrospinal fluid shunting, dural venous sinus stenting (DVSS) and optic nerve sheath fenestration (ONSF). Extensive evidence exists showing that surgical procedures effectively protect visual function, but there remains a paucity of literature comparing the visual outcomes of ONSF and DVSS. In this study, we evaluate the therapeutic effects in PTC patients who underwent either ONSF or DVSS for neuroprotection from papilledema.
