如果在全面的内科治疗后,患者仍出现视力缺失,则可进行视神经鞘减压术或脑脊液 (CSF) 分流术等外科治疗。大型的病例研究已证明了这两种技术的有效性。[85]Goh KY, Schatz NJ, Glaser JS. Optic nerve sheath fenestration for pseudotumor cerebri.

视神经纤维髓鞘开窗术的临床过程有待进一步研究,因为 meta 分析的回顾性病例表明,术后约 10% 患者仍会出现视力丧失;[98]Wall M, Johnson CA, Kutzko KE, et al. Long- and short-term variability of automated perimetry results in patients with optic neuritis and healthy subjects. Arch Ophthalmol. 1998 Jan;116(1):53-61.http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9445208?tool=bestpractice.com 与脑脊液分流术后视力丧失的发生率相似。[1]Wall M. Idiopathic intracranial hypertension. Neurol Clin. 2010;28:593-617.http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2908600/http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20637991?tool=bestpractice.com 需重新进行开窗术的晚期恶化并不常见。 对孕妇的手术可在局麻下完成,因此手术不需要推迟。
视神经纤维髓鞘开窗术通常会产生立竿见影的效果,几个月内视力就会有所改善。 通常会对视力较差的眼睛进行手术,术后,未经手术的眼睛视力也会恢复,视神经乳头水肿会减轻;非手术眼的改善可能持续数月甚至数年。 并发症包括围手术期视力缺失、眼球运动障碍和强直性瞳孔。
