摘要

Background

Osteopetrosis is a rare genetic disorder causing excessive skeletal density, with a predilection to affect the skull base. This commonly leads to optic canal stenosis, optic nerve compression, and atrophy and vision loss. Timely optic nerve decompression can be an effective surgical intervention to preserve vision.

Methods

Pterional approach combining both extra- and intradural optic nerve decompression was performed. Intradural optic nerve identification proved a helpful and safe way to facilitate adequate decompression while dissecting in the region of hypertrophic anterior clinoid process.

Conclusion

Precise surgical technique and anatomical awareness are crucial for minimizing complications and aiding recovery.
