Zusammenfassung:According to the route of optic nerve approaching the globe, the oblique hypoechoic shadow running medially represents the exact measure of the optic nerve (Fig. 1). [...]the aforementioned method provides lower normal measurement of 3.5cm [2]. [...]the method of assessing ONSD and the interrater reliability of this highly operator-dependent diagnostic modality in predicting elevated intracranial pressure has yet to be validated to determine the prognosis and treatment. [...]as the authors implied, the chronicity of the increased ICP process may affect the correlation of ONSD sensitivity and specificity.
