Abstract |
We investigated a new minimally invasive surgical technique for the treatment of idiopathic intracranial hypertension in a cadaveric model. This technique aims at establishing a communication between the intraorbital and intracranial compartments by creating a bone, dural, and periorbital window in the anterior cranial fossa. This procedure is predicated on intraorbital absorptive capability that has been demonstrated in animals and discussed in humans. |
