摘要
Background and PurposeThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in measuring the optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) compared to the established method transorbital sonography (TOS) in patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). MethodsTwenty-three patients with IIH were prospectively included applying IIH diagnostic criteria. All patients received a lumbar puncture with assessment of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) opening pressure to assure the IIH diagnosis. Measurement of ONSD was performed 3 mm posterior to inner sclera surface in B-TOS by an expert examiner, while three independent neuroradiologists took measurements in axial T-weighted MRI examinations. The sella turcica with the pituitary gland (and potential presence of an empty sella) and the trigeminal cavity were also assessed on sagittal and transversal T1-weighted MRI images by one independent neuroradiologist. ResultsThe means of ONSD between ultrasound and MRI measurements were 6.3 mm (standard deviation [SD] = 0.6 mm) and 6.2 mm (SD = 0.8 mm). The interrater reliability between three neuroradiologists showed a high interclass correlation coefficient (ICC) (confidence interval: .573 p < .001). In patients with an empty sella, the ONSD evaluated by MRI was 6.6 mm, while measuring 6.1 mm in patients without empty sella. No correlation between CSF opening pressure and ONSD was found. ConclusionsMRI can reliably measure ONSD and yields similar results compared to TOS in patients with IIH. Moreover, patients with empty sella showed significantly larger ONSD than patients without empty sella.
