Optic Nerve Sheath Diameters in Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension Patients

Turkey (Türkiye)47 participantsStarted 2014-05-01

Plain-language summary

Idiopathic intracranial hypertensionis a type of increased intracranial pressure. Diagnosis is made by lumbar puncture, which is an invasive technique. The relationship between ICP and optic nerve sheath diameters (ONSD) were examined in our study. Thus, it was investigated whether the optic nerve sheath diameter could be used in the diagnosis of IIH. In the present study, it was found that ONSD measurement by optic USG significantly reflects increased ICP and decreasing pressure via LP is rapidly reflects to ONSD measurement. And it is suggested that ONSD measurements by optic USG, a non-invasive method, can be used in the diagnosis and follow-up of IIH patients.
