Jiraskova N; Rozsival PČeska a Slovenska Oftalmologie 1999; 55: 136-144
The authors present results of optic nerve sheath decompression in 62 eyes. The decompression surgery was performed for progressive form of non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) in 25 eyes, optic nerve head drusen in 19 eyes, normal tension glaucoma in seven eyes (+1 reoperation), chronic optic disc edema in pseudotumor cerebri in five patients, central vein occlusion (CRVO) in two patients, CRVO combined with NAION in two patients, amiodarone optic neuropathy in one patient. Results of their long-term study enabled the authors to suggest this method of treatment for vision-threatening optic neuropathies after thoroughly balanced assessment of possible risks and gains.LA: Czech
