Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter in Pediatric Populations: Establishing Reference Intervals and Anthropometric Correlations
This study provides age-specific normative reference intervals for ONSD in healthy children and shows the impact of BMI on ONSD measurements in adolescents. These findings enhance the clinical interpretation of ONSD in pediatric settings and support its integration into noninvasive ICP assessment protocols. Further multicenter studies are required to validate the reference values.
