Increased peripapillary retinal thickness measured by OCT is associated with increased ICP in newly diagnosed IIH patients. OCT may thus serve as a valuable supplement to subjective assessment of papilledema in patients suspected of having IIH.

Advances in ophthalmic diagnostics and results of interventional clinical trials are shifting diagnosis and management of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) to be more technology- and evidence-based. In this article, the evidence supporting current diagnostic criteria, evaluation, and medical and surgical management of IIH are reviewed.

Identifying structural damage to the optic nerve and RNFL constitutes an essential step in diagnosing and managing IIH. The introduction of spectral-domain OCT (SD-OCT) has allowed damage to these structures to be objectively quantified with unprecedented resolution.

2020年6月9日 · OCT Measurement of Papilledema in IIH. OCT has a well-established role in assessing and monitoring papilledema (35–37). A number of different OCT scanning protocols are used to assess the optic disc in ophthalmology. The most widely used is a 3.4 mm line scan measuring retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (pRNFL).

Optical coherence tomography imaging reliably and reproducibly demonstrates alterations in the optic nerve head (ONH) and retinal layers in IIH, which includes measurement of the average peripapillary retina nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness, average total peripapillary retinal thickness (TRT), ONH volume, and the ganglion cell plus inner plexi...

Retinal nerve fiber layer thickness is sensitive for monitoring acute IIH and evaluating treatment effect. Increased rim area and rim thickness and decreased optic cup volume are reliable parameters that indicate persistently increased CSF pressure and risk of relapse. OCT measures are sensitive and …

2013年2月21日 · Increased peripapillary retinal thickness measured by OCT is closely associated with increased ICP in newly diagnosed IIH patients. Thus OCT could be a valuable diagnostic test in the very subjective assessment of papilloedema in patients suspected of having IIH.

2015年3月1日 · Rim thickness and area, optic cup-to-disc ratio (C/D) and optic cup volume of optic nerve head (ONH) were measured in 7 IIH patients by SD-OCT. ONH parameters were altered in IIH patients, even in subtle IIH without papilledema.
