Abstract

Batur A. The diagnostic value of optic nerve sheath diameter measurements by ultrasonography in elevated intracranial pressure in stroke patients. Stroke is the most common 4th cause of death around the world. Due to brain edema elevated ICP is a reason of clinical deterioration in stroke patients (%33). ONSD measurement with ultrasonography is an indirect and non invasive technique to detect (elevated intracranial pressure) EICP. The aim of this study is to invastigate the diagnostic value of ONSD measurements in EICP in stroke patients. The paper involves data concerning a control group 50 individuals with study group of 105 patients diagnosed with acute stroke at the Adult Emergency Department of Hacettepe University between February 1,2015 and June 30,2015. Symptoms and physical examinations of the patients were recorded. We performed optic nerve ultrasonography (ON-US) to all patients and optic nerve sheat diameter (ONSD) measurements by US were compared with the results of st
