Background And Purpose: Ultrasound (US) measurement of the optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) and optic nerve diameter (OND) is a method frequently used to screen for an increased intracranial pressure. The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of US measurements of ONSD and OND, when compared to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measurements as the criterion standard.
Methods: In this prospective, single-institution study, orbital US was performed for those patients requiring an emergent brain MRI. ONSD and OND of both eyes were measured in the axial and coronal planes in straight gaze by US. ONSD and OND from brain and orbital MRI were measured by two neuroradiologists. Correlation and agreement between readings were assessed using Pearson's correlations.
Results: Eighty-two patients met inclusion criteria. The mean axial and coronal ONSD in the MRI examinations was 5.6 and 5.7 mm at 3-5.9 mm behind the globe, respectively. The mean ONSD from the US measurements was 6.22 and 5.52 mm in the axial and coronal planes, respectively. The mean OND in US examinations was 4.31 mm (axial) and 3.68 mm (coronal). Axial versus coronal measurements of ONSD had a modest correlation in US assessment with an r of .385 (P < .001) but there were no correlations between any of the US and MRI measurements.
Conclusions: In measuring ONSD and OND, US measurements showed a modest correlation between axial and coronal measurements, but no concordance was found between US and MRI in our setting.

Purpose: Invasive methods such as lumbar puncture and intraventricular catheters are commonly used to measure intracranial pressure (ICP). This study aims to develop quantitative and non-invasive techniques to measure ICP in patients with Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings.
Methods: MRI data obtained from 50 patients with IIH and 30 age- and sex- matched controls were analyzed and optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD), eyeball transverse diameter (ETD) and optic nerve diameter (OND) were measured.

Introduction/objectives: Optic nerve sheath (ONS) enhancement using magnetic resonance imaging of the orbits was observed in patients with giant cell arteritis (GCA). We previously showed that ONS diameter (ONSD) by bedside ultrasound is increased in patient with active GCA. This study aims to assess whether ONSD decreases with clinical remission in patients with GCA.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the use of optic nerve ultrasound to measure optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) as a potential diagnostic tool for giant cell arteritis (GCA).
- Patients with GCA showed significantly larger ONSD compared to those without the condition, suggesting that ultrasound could serve as a quick bedside test for GCA diagnosis.
- Further research with larger sample sizes is needed to confirm these results and explore if ONSD could act as a biomarker for GCA disease activity.
Automatic Optic Nerve Assessment From Transorbital Ultrasound Images: A Deep Learning-based Approach.

Background: Transorbital Ultrasonography (TOS) is a promising imaging technology that can be used to characterize the structures of the optic nerve and the potential alterations that may occur in those structures as a result of an increase in intracranial pressure (ICP) or the presence of other disorders such as multiple sclerosis (MS) and hydrocephalus.
Objective: In this paper, the primary objective is to develop a fully automated system that is capable of segmenting and calculating the diameters of structures that are associated with the optic nerve in TOS images. These structures include the optic nerve diameter sheath (ONSD) and the optic nerve diameter (OND).

Objectives: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the role of B-mode transorbital ultrasonography (TOS) for the diagnosis of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) in adults.
Methods: MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) (1966-May 2022) were searched to identify studies reporting ultrasonographic data about the optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) and optic disc elevation (ODE) in adults with IIH compared to subjects without IIH. The quality of the included studies was evaluated by the Newcastle-Ottawa Quality.
