Purpose: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a complex neurological disease characterized by symptoms of raised intracranial pressure of unclear etiology. Although optic nerve sheath dilation is a common MR neuroimaging feature of IIH, how and why it occurs remains poorly understood. The purpose of the presented analysis was to investigate if optic nerve sheath dilation might be associated with neuroimaging correlates of cerebrospinal and interstitial fluid homeostasis.

Impaired cerebral waste clearance (i.e., glymphatics) is evident in aging and neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease, where an impaired waste clearance system could be related to the accumulation of pathological proteins (e.

The eye is closely connected to the brain, providing a unique window to detect pathological changes in the brain. In this study, we discovered β-amyloid (Aβ) deposits along the ocular glymphatic system in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and 5×FAD transgenic mouse model. Interestingly, Aβ from the brain can flow into the eyes along the optic nerve through cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), causing retinal degeneration.

In patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and in animal models, the increased accumulation of amyloid β (Aβ) in retinal blood vessels strongly correlates with brain amyloid deposits and cognitive decline. The accumulation of Aβ in blood vessels may result from impaired transcytosis and a dysfunctional ocular glymphatic system in AD. High-dose fish oil (FO) supplementation has been shown to significantly change the expression of major facilitator superfamily domain-containing protein 2a (Mfsd2a), a key regulator of transcytosis, and Aquaporin 4 (Aqp4), an essential component of the glymphatic system in the retinas of WT mice.
