OPTIC NERVE SHEATH FENESTRATION

I had a patient yesterday who came all the way from Hyderabad to get optic nerve sheath fenestration done. She was a case of chronic papilledema, who had failed all medical management. She had idiopathic intracranial hypertension.

The excitement was huge and the operation went off well. She regained vision though little after the surgery.
The surgery is technically very complicated though it can be performed with experience and attention to detail...
