Comparison of optic nerve sheath diameter in preeclampsia and normal pregnancy using ocular USG

Background: Measurements of optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) in intracranial pathologies correlate well with raised ICP. Only recently the usefulness ocular ultrasonography preeclampsia has been sought. Objective current study was measurement ONSD and compare it to healthy pregnant females.Methods: A total 90 subjects were included divided into Group I- normal pregnancy (N=30), II - mild III- severe group (N=30) hemodynamic parameters. Optic is performed a linear ultrasound probe placed over eyelid measured 3 mm behind globe. Patients compared females as controls.Results: significantly higher patients controls (p<0.001). The mean I 4.5±0.2 mm, versus 5.7±0.2 II, versus, 5.9±0.3 III.Conclusions: Preeclampsia associated can be used marker increased ICP preeclampsia.
