| Abstract |
Background: Severe, permanent vision loss is a feared sequela of untreated or refractory idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). For patients with progressive vision loss despite maximally tolerated medical treatment, optic nerve sheath decompression (ONSD) remains a viable and effective option to protect vision. Our objective is to introduce a modified transconjunctival technique for ONSD and determine its safety, efficacy, and efficiency in patients with IIH. |
