Use of T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging of the optic nerve sheath to detect raised intracranial pressure

INTRODUCTION: The dural sheath surrounding the optic nerve communicates with the subarachnoid space, and distends when intracranial pressure is elevated. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is often performed in patients at risk for raised intracranial pressure (ICP) and can be used to measure precisel...
