Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is an effective method that has been used for many years in the treatment of psychiatric disorders and is currently administered under general anesthesia. This study evaluated the effect of ECT on intracranial pressure by measuring the optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) using ultrasonography. The primary aim was to determine how ONSD values measured during the postictal period change compared to baseline values. Secondary objectives included identifying factors related to the participants and the ECT procedure that affect ONSD.
