Özet
Background: Intracranial hypertension, which may have a number of different causes, is a medical emergency. Although difficult to identify due to non-specific symptoms, it must be treated appropriately. An early sign of intracranial hypertension is an increase is observed in the optic nerve sheath diameter.. Ultrasonography is a rapid and easy-to-apply method to detect an increase in optic nerve sheath diameter, and may be useful for the emergency diagnosis and treatment, as well as contributing to clinical follow-up.
