Detection of intracranial hypertension in children using optical coherence tomography: a systematic review protocol

Abstract: IntroductionIntracranial hypertension (ICH) in children can have deleterious effects on the brain and vision. It is notoriously difficult to estimate intracranial pressure (ICP) in children and existing methods deliver suboptimal diagnostic accuracy to be used as screening tools. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) may represent a valuable, non-invasive surrogate measure of ICP, as has been demonstrated in a number of associated conditions affecting adults.

“…Of note, handheld OCT has been recently used to describe the normal development of the optic nerve 27 and fovea 15 16 in infants and children, with excellent feasibility. Handheld OCT has also been utilised in a wide range of other pedatric conditions including retinopathy of prematurity, 56 nystagmus, 57 albinism, 58 achromatopsia, 59 foveal hypoplasia, 60 optic nerve hypoplasia, 61 primary congenital glaucoma, 62 microcephaly 63 and others.…”
