The Effects of Acute Intracranial Pressure Changes on the Episcleral Venous Pressure, Retinal Vein Diameter and Intraocular Pressure in a Pig Model.

CONCLUSION: We believe that the ophthalmic effects of acute ICP elevation are mediated by increased intracranial venous pressure producing upstream pressure changes within the orbital and retinal veins. These results offer exciting possibilities for the development of non-invasive ophthalmic biomarkers to estimate acute ICP elevations following significant neuro-trauma.
