Decreased diameter of the optic nerve sheath associated with CSF hypovolemia.

چکیده
The subarachnoid space around the optic nerve can be detected by fat-saturated T2-weighted MR imaging of the orbit, and dilation of this space reflects increased intracranial pressure. We examined 3 patients with CSF hypovolemia with MR imaging of the orbit and measured the optic nerve sheath diameter before and after treatment. We showed that the subarachnoid space is decreased in patients with CSF hypovolemia and the usefulness of this finding.

Effect of scuba-diving on optic nerve and sheath diameters
Background :There is not any data available about the effect of high bar pressure condition on intracranial pressure. In this study, the effect of diving on the optic nerve and sheath diameters as non-invasive markers of intracranial pressure has been investigated. Methods : Twenty professional male divers from twenty one volunteers were chosen for this cross-sectional study. Only one perso...
متن کاملBrain Trauma Measurement of Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter for the Assessment of Risk of Raised Intracranial Pressure
Raised intracranial pressure (ICP) is associated with poor outcome after brain injury, but is difficult to detect without invasive devices. As a part of the central nervous system, the optic nerve is surrounded by a dural sheath, and the subarachnoid space surrounding the optic nerve is subject to the same pressure changes as the intracranial compartment. Distension of the optic nerve sheath re...
متن کاملNoninvasive surrogates of intracranial pressure: another piece added with magnetic resonance imaging of the cerebrospinal fluid thickness surrounding the optic nerve
Optic nerve sheath diameter enlargement measured by ultrasound is known to be associated with raised intracranial pressure (ICP). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) surrounding the optic nerve has been found, in an elegant study published in Critical Care, to correlate well with lumbar CSF opening pressure, confirming previously published studies. A simple and rap...
متن کاملOptic nerve sheath diameter correlates with the presence and severity of acute mountain sickness: evidence for increased intracranial pressure.
Increased intracranial pressure is suspected in the pathogenesis of acute mountain sickness (AMS), but no studies have correlated it with the presence or severity of AMS. We sought to determine whether increased optic nerve sheath diameter, a surrogate measure of intracranial pressure, is associated with the presence and severity of AMS. We performed a cross-sectional study of travelers ascendi...
متن کاملOptic Nerve Sheath Ultrasound for the Bedside Diagnosis of Intracranial Hypertension: Pitfalls and Potential
Raised intracranial pressure is a complication not just of traumatic brain injury and other acute cerebral insults, but also of a number of general medical conditions. Bedside diagnosis can be difficult; early clinical signs may be misinterpreted, and reliance on cross-sectional imaging studies may further delay diagnosis. Ultrasound is a readily available imaging modality in most critical care...
