Abstract

PURPOSE:Detecting intracranial hypertension in children with craniosynostosis may enable earlier intervention to prevent neurocognitive impairment, but is invasive and frequently equivocal with conventional methods. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) can noninvasively quantify optic disc thickness with high resolution using ultrasound. We aim to determine whether OCT can be reliably used to measure retinal thickness of infants with craniosynostosis, and whether findings correlate with clinical indications of papilledema and intracranial hypertension.
