Intra-orbital optic nerve sheath fenestration (ONSF) is an effective option in patients with progressive vision loss due to idiopathic intracranial hypertension. Most proposed techniques involve surgical trauma and require disinsertion of the medial rectus muscle; thus, less invasive surgical procedures are needed. Here, a feasible and effective technique of endoscopic intra-orbital ONSF through a conjunctival incision is presented, in a patient with a progressively compromised visual field, papilloedema, and distended subarachnoid space around the optic nerves. The retrobulbar segment of the optic nerve was exposed for incision, avoiding manipulation of the lateral orbital rim bones and irritation of the ciliary microvessels and nerves. The patient regained the entire visual field. ONSF was safely and effectively performed endoscopically through a narrow corridor gained by brushing away the orbital fat with minimal traction on the medial rectus muscle. The small postoperative wound was associated with faster and easier convalescence, and less tissue trauma versus conventional open approaches.
