Intra and Interobserver Variability in the B-mode Transorbital Sonographic Measurement of the Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter in Healthy Nepalese Individuals

Abstract: Introduction:Ocular ultrasound has gained importance as a non-invasive imaging technique in the screening, diagnosis and treatment management of intracranial hypertension. The aim of our study was to estimate the intra and interobserver variability on B-mode ocular ultrasound measurement of optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD).Methods: ONSD of the right eye was measured by ultrasound examination among 120 healthy adult volunteers. The ONSD was assessed 3 mm behind the globe and two serial measurements were taken… Show more

“…The mean difference value was close to zero which signifies no evidence of systemic bias. Previous studies by several authors also support similar findings concerning interobserver reliability [17,19,22,23]. In addition, the scatter plot showed a positive linear correlation with the strong relationship of ONSD measurement between both investigators.…”
