1 Suspected optic disc oedema in children How helpful is Ultrasound Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter Measurement? Anne Cees Houtman Universitair Ziekenhuis Brussel Wouter Japing Universitair Medisch Centrum Groningen

2 Swollen discs, or not? MREH200 2

3 Then, how about these? MREH200 3

4 and these? MREH200 4

5 Intracranial Pressure (ICP) Measure: Or deduce: Imaging ventricular dilatation Fundoscopy - papilloedema MREH

6 And then, there s ultrasound Fundamentals of transorbital sonographic evaluation of optic nerve sheath expansion under intracranial hypertension. Helmke K, Hansen H C. PediatrRadiol 1996:26;710-5 MREH200 6

7 Validation of the optic nerve sheath response to changing cerebrospinal fluid pressure: ultrasound findings during intrathecal infusion tests Hansen HC, Helmke K. J Neurosurg 87:34 40, 1997 MREH200 7

8 Nocturnal Ultrasound Measurements of Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter Correlate with Intracranial Pressure in Children with Craniosynostosis. Driessen C et al. Plast Reconstr Surg 2013;30:448 e -451 e. MREH200 8

9 B-scan horizontal vertical Measurement of optic nerve sheath diameter by ultrasound: a means of detecting acute raised intracranial pressure in hydrocephalus W D Newman, A S Hollman, G N Dutton, R Carachi. Br J Ophthalmol 2002;86: MREH200 9

11 Qualitative assessment MREH200 11

15 What use is US-ONSD in suspected optic disc oedema? Retrospective study of the US database at Universitair Medisch Centrum Groningen Inclusion criteria: age 0-16 years suspected optic disc oedema assessed by ophthalmologist or paediatric neurologist or their trainees MREH200 15

16 US-ONSD measurement Methods: A-scan B-scan: average horizontal and vertical measurement qualitative assessment Search for relevant diagnosis of raised ICP in EPR Assumption: the entire cohort will be referred to the UMCG for treatment (oncology, neurosurgery, radiotherapy ) Extent of the neuro assessment varied (N=46) not everyone had an MRI or an LP Outcome measure: US-ONSD 5 mm and raised ICP US-ONSD < 5 mm and raised ICP MREH200 16

17 results N=93 suspected optic disc oedema (Out of 96: 2 had no quantitative scan results recorded, 1 had a double entry. 3 cases were contacted by telephone for relevant follow-up missing from EPR) FU 3-72 months, (mean 36, median 33) ONSD 5 mm: 46 cases raised ICP: 10 ONSD < 5 mm: 47 cases raised ICP: 1 MREH200 17

18 results ONSD 5 + ^ICP (N=10) Diagnoses IIH 5 GH replacement XO 2 Pilocytic astrocytoma 1 Fanconi Anaemia 1 ONSD < 5 + ^ICP (N=1) Diagnosis F 13 yrs, photopsia, visual difficulties, swollen discs, enlarged blind spot LE ONSD 3.80 RE, 3.75 LE All had bilateral ONSD > 5 normal MRI and 30 cm H 2 O MREH200 18

19 results ONSD 5 + ^ICP (N=10) Diagnoses IIH 5 GH replacement XO 2 Pilocytic astrocytoma 1 Fanconi Anaemia 1 ONSD < 5 + ^ICP (N=1) Diagnosis F 13 yrs, photopsia, visual difficulties, swollen discs, enlarged blind spot LE ONSD 3.80 RE, 3.75 LE All had bilateral ONSD > 5 normal MRI, 30 cm H 2 O on LP MREH200 19

20 results Group with ^ICP (11) ONSD mm (5.66) Group without ^ICP (82) ONSD mm (4.77) 5 had obvious qualitative signs of ONS distension 15 had obvious qualitative signs of ONS distension MREH200 20

21 results ICP raised ONSD 5 mm ONSD < 5 mm 1 46 ICP normal Sensitivity 91 % 95CI: 59-98% Specificity 56 % 95CI: 45 67% Positive likelihood ratio CI: Negative likelihood ratio CI: Disease prevalence 12% 95CI: 6 20 % Positive predictive value 22 % 95CI: 11 36% Negative predictive value 98 % 95CI: % MREH200 21

22 ONH drusen N= 20 6 had enlarged ONSD None had ^ICP MREH200 22

23 Swollen discs, or not? ONSD 7.10 mm 6.85 mm Reading difficulties, normal MRI, resolved symptoms MREH200 23

24 Then, how about these? ONSD 6.60 mm 6.10 mm IIH (LP 30 cm H 2 O), renal insufficiency, MREH200 24

25 and these? ONSD 5.40 mm 6.10 mm Pilocytic astrocytoma MREH200 25

26 Conclusions from our review Wide range of ONSD within the normal population ( !) Normal ONSD with raised ICP is possible ONH drusen may have enlarged ONSD PPV of ONSD with a cutoff of 5 mm is low (20%) But the NPV is high (98%) The PPV of a qualitatively normal looking ONS is also high (96%) MREH200 26

27 Suspected Raised ICP in the Absence of Papilloedema in Children with nown Intracranial Pathology Just plugging. MREH200 27

28 Conclusions So, is it helpful? Maybe US-ONSD is better suited to rule out rather than confirm raised ICP Never rely on US-ONSD alone in clinical decision making MREH200 28

29 Thank you MREH! MREH200 29
