| Abstrakt: | Background: Normal optic nerve diameter (OND) and optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) may be beneficial for describing optic nerve pathway abnormality reflecting increased intracranial pressure. Nonetheless, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measurement of the normal ONSD range and its associations with clinical factors and eyeball transverse diameter (ETD) are not well established in children. Purpose: To establish normal OND, ONSD, ETD, and OND/ONSD and ONSD/ETD measurements in children and their associations with age and sex. Material and Methods: We evaluated and analyzed 336 brain MRI studies of children aged 0.5 months to 18 years. We measured a total of 672 optic nerves. The OND and ONSD were measured 1 cm anterior to the optic foramina and 3 mm behind the optic disc on an axial T2 sequence. Results: The mean OND 3 mm and 1 cm, ONSD 3 mm and 1 cm, and ETD were 0.23 ± 0.05 mm and 0.16 ± 0.04 mm, 0.53 ± 0.08 mm and 0.38 ± 0.06 mm, and 2.3 ± 0.13, respectively. Only ONSD 1 cm was independent of age ( P = 0.247). ONSD 3 mm and ETD were significantly wider in boys compared to girls and significantly influenced by age (both P < 0.001). Age at scan and ETD were significantly correlated ( P < 0.001). Conclusion: We established MRI-based OND, ONSD, ETD, and ONSD/ETD and OND/ONSD ratio normative values in children, which can be helpful in pediatric populations with disease. |
