Description |
Surgical treatment of increased intracranial pressure is performed for severe visual loss, intractable headache, or both, usually after failed medical treatment. Options include optic nerve sheath fenestration and CSF diversion. Both procedures are felt to be effective, but no comparative data exist. The objective of this study is to evaluate the visual outcomes in surgically treated IIH patients. |
