Using Optical Coherence Tomography as a Surrogate of Measurements of Intracranial Pressure in Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension

Abstract

In this study, optic nerve head volume measures on OCT (particularly central thickness) reproducibly correlated with ICP and surrogacy analysis demonstrated its ability to inform ICP changes. These data suggest that OCT has the utility to not only monitor papilledema but also noninvasively prognosticate ICP levels in idiopathic intracranial hypertension.
