The role of sonographic optic nerve sheath diameter measurements in pediatric head trauma

PURPOSE: To determine the accuracy of bedside sonographic measurements of optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) and ONSD/eyeball transverse (ETD) diameter ratios to predict space-occupying lesions (SOLs) or elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) in pediatric head trauma.

METHODS: Children who presented to the emergency department with head trauma and underwent cranial computed tomography (CT) were enrolled and examined by ocular ultrasonography (US), and the ONSD was measured at 3 mm posterior to the globe and ETD were measured. Ratios of ONSD at 3 mm/ETD were calculated. All ONSD measurements and ratios were calculated from cranial CT images.

RESULTS: Subjects with elevated ICP had increased ONSD measurements and ratios. To predict elevated ICP, the AUC for ONSD at 3 mm was 0.956 (95% CI 0.896-1). At a cut-off level of 5.1 mm, the sensitivity and specificity of ONSD 3 mm values for elevated ICP were 92.9% and 94.0%. For the ONSD 3 mm/ETD ratio, it was 0.980 (95% CI 0.959-1). At a cut-off level of 0.22, the sensitivity and specificity were 100% sensitivity and 88.0%. All sonographic ONSD measurements and ratios were significantly correlated with readings calculated from cranial CT images.

CONCLUSION: Sonographic ONSD measurements and ratios were found to be quite sensitive to detect elevated ICP on cranial CT images. Additionally, there was a significant correlation between measurements calculated by ocular US and cranial CT scans. Bedside ocular US seems to be a promising and useful tool to determine ICP in children with head trauma.
