Efficacy and Safety of Optic Nerve Sheath Fenestration for Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension: A Subgroup-Focused Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
ONSF demonstrates favorable efficacy in improving visual outcomes with an acceptable safety profile, lower postoperative complications were observed when the procedure was performed in high-volume centers using appropriate surgical techniques. Geographic variations and surgical approaches significantly affected outcomes, highlighting the importance of standardized protocols and adequate surgical experience. Future prospective studies with standardized outcome measures are needed to optimize patient selection and surgical techniques.
