Article Synopsis
- ONSD (optic nerve sheath diameter) is a technique used to indirectly measure increased intracranial pressure (ICP), especially in patients with cerebrovascular diseases (CVD).
- The study reviewed patients over 18 who showed stroke symptoms, categorizing them into four groups based on the Oxfordshire Community Stroke Project classification to analyze the relationship between their ONSD and ICP.
- Results indicated significant differences in optic nerve sheath diameters between stroke patients and a control group, with the highest measurements found in those with Total Anterior Circulation Infarction (TACI), suggesting that early ONSD measurement can help in diagnosing rising ICP and potentially reduce mortality and morbidity.
