Background/aims: Optic nerve sheath fenestration (ONSF) is a surgical intervention in the management of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) infrequently performed in the United Kingdom. Numerous surgical approaches have been described, including medial transconjunctival, lateral and endoscopic. We describe our outcomes and complications from ONSF via a supero-medial eyelid skin crease incision in patients with IIH. Methods: We performed a retrospective review of consecutive patients undergoing ONSF for IIH between January 2011 and December 2017 by a single surgeon. Results: Thirty patients were included in the analysis with a median follow-up of 14.5 months. Bilateral ONSFs were undertaken in 27 (90%). The data from one eye per patient were analysed. The mean kinetic perimetry score in mean radial degrees of the I4e isopter improved from 27.3° to 35.7°, p= 0.04. After removing cases with optic atrophy, the median modified Frisén grade of papilloedema improved from 2.5 to 1.0, p= 0.007. A total of 5/30 (17%) patients had complications: two (7%) had recurrence/late failure (one managed medically and one with cerebrospinal fluid [CSF] diversion surgery), one had transient cotton wool spots post-operatively, one had transient retinal haemorrhages and one patient had a transiently oval pupil. No patients had repeat ONSF, but CSF diversion surgery was subsequently carried out in 4/30 (13%) patients. Conclusions: ONSF via a supero-medial eyelid skin crease approach is effective at improving visual function in patients with IIH. The complication rates are low when compared with CSF diversion surgery and other surgical approaches for ONSF. |
