Orbital Doppler Ultrasonography and Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter in Pediatric Brain Death Evaluation
: Orbital Doppler ultrasonography demonstrates a coherent high-resistance hemodynamic pattern in pediatric brain death. OA-RI showed strong discriminative performance and may serve as a useful bedside adjunct in selected cases where ancillary testing is indicated. ONSD provides complementary anatomical evidence. These findings are exploratory and require prospective validation in larger, multicenter pediatric cohorts.
