MR imaging of the optic nerve sheath in patients with craniospinal hypotension.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Craniospinal hyper- or hypotension leads to morphologic changes in certain intracranial structures. We tested the hypothesis that the amount of CSF in the ONS visible in MR imaging is reduced in patients with CSH. MATERIALS AND METHODS Nineteen patients with CSH were prospectively studied. Three readers assessed the width of the peri-optical CSF rim at 4 different anato...
متن کاملEffect of scuba-diving on optic nerve and sheath diameters
Background :There is not any data available about the effect of high bar pressure condition on intracranial pressure. In this study, the effect of diving on the optic nerve and sheath diameters as non-invasive markers of intracranial pressure has been investigated. Methods : Twenty professional male divers from twenty one volunteers were chosen for this cross-sectional study. Only one perso...
متن کاملContrast-enhanced MR imaging of optic nerve lesions in patients with acute optic neuritis.
The purpose of this study was to determine if administration of gadopentetate dimeglumine aids in the MR detection of optic nerve lesions in patients with acute optic neuritis and to establish an efficient MR imaging protocol to effectively demonstrate such lesions. Patients with acutely decreased visual acuity were referred for MR imaging of the brain and orbits. Predominantly, T1-weighted ima...
متن کاملOptic nerve sheath meningiomas in patients with neurofibromatosis type 2.
OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of optic nerve sheath meningiomas (ONSMs) in patients with neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2). METHODS An observational retrospective case series of 30 consecutive patients with NF2 referred to an academic ophthalmology unit from November 1, 1991, through August 31, 2003. Twenty-six patients were followed up for a mean of 93 months (range, 3-150 months). One ...
متن کاملOptic nerve sheath meningocele
A 53-year-old man presented with a 5-month history of visual loss in his left eye. Visual acuity could be corrected to 20/20 with an increased hyperopic correction. Dilated funduscopy showed faint choroidal folds and elevation of the left optic disc. The coronal view of T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a fluid-filled dilated sheath surrounding normal optic nerves. General phy...
