Lateral optico-carotid recess as an anatomical landmark for optimal endoscopic optic nerve decompression
The LOCR can be directly discernible by the endoscopic surgeon and identified on the reconstructed high-resolution computed tomography scans, offering a reliable landmark for designating the required extent of decompression. Measurements related to the orbital apex proved less credible, and additionally, this landmark is challenging to identify during surgery.
