Patient data, including age, sex, presenting symptoms, presence of syringomyelia, comorbidities, type of dural opening technique, postoperative complications, and ONSD measured preoperatively and postoperatively through MRI, were analyzed. All MRIs were performed using a 1.5 Tesla scanner. ONSD measurements were made manually on axial T2-weighted sequences, 3 mm posterior to the optic disc in the mediolateral direction. The data were evaluated by two independent researchers.\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt;0.05 was considered statistically significant. The mean patient age was 32.6 years, with 75.4% being female. The most common symptom was headache (83.6%). The mean preoperative ONSD was 4.91 mm, while the mean postoperative ONSD was 4.26 mm, indicating a statistically significant reduction after surgery (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.000).
