AI Article Synopsis
- - A 48-year-old woman experienced a spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid leak from the optic nerve sheath, which is a previously unreported anatomical site for such leaks.
- - The repair was done using a multilayer endoscopic closure technique, ensuring that there was no damage to the optic nerve during the procedure.
- - The successful outcome demonstrates that endoscopic surgery is a viable option for repairing cerebrospinal fluid leaks from the optic nerve sheath without risking vision loss.
