Point-of-care handheld ophthalmic ultrasound in the diagnosis and evaluation of raised intracranial pressure and Terson syndrome: a description of two cases.

CONCLUSION: Ophthalmic US using a handheld device to measure and monitor ONSD at the bedside is useful in diagnosing and monitoring the progression of intracranial hypertension following EVD removal in a patient with hydrocephalus secondary to SAH. Ophthalmic US can also be used to identify concomitant vitreous hemorrhage that is associated with a worse prognosis. PMID: 31758491 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
