| Abstract | Background: The clinical presentation of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) overlaps with that of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), but no screening tool exists. We investigated the role of eye-neck integrated ultrasound in the diagnosis and differentiation of IIH and CVST. Methods: Twenty IIH patients, 30 CVST patients, and 40 healthy controls were retrospectively analyzed. The ultrasonographic optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) and hemodynamic characteristics of the internal jugular veins (IJVs) were recorded. The cerebrospinal fluid opening pressure was measured after ultrasonic examination. Results: The ONSD was significantly larger in IIH patients than in controls (4.71±0.41 vs. 3.93±0.24 mm, p<0.001). The ONSD cut-off for IIH diagnosis was 4.25 mm (AUC=0.978; 95% CI: 0.95-1.0, p<0.001, sensitivity: 90%, specificity: 93%). In the CVST group, 22 (73.3%) patients had elevated intracranial pressure (ICP); the mean ONSD was significantly higher in patients with increased ICP than in those without (4.43±0.33 vs. 3.95±0.17 mm, p<0.001). The mean blood flow volume (BFV) was significantly reduced in CVST patients (425.17±349.83 mL/min) compared to that in controls (680.37±233.03 mL/min, p<0.001) and IIH patients (617.67±282.96 ml/min, p=0.008). The optimal BFV cut-off for predicting CVST was 527.28 ml/min (AUC=0.804, 95% CI: 0.68-0.93, p<0.001, sensitivity: 80%, specificity: 78%). The velocity of the unilateral IJVs-J3 segment decreased or remained constant during deep inspiration (abnormal respiratory modulate blood flow test, ARMT) in 32.5% of controls, with no bilateral ARMT. The prevalence of bilateral ARMT was 25% in IIH patients (2=12.9, p=0.005) and 27% in CVST patients (2=17.6, p=0.001). Conclusion: Eye-neck integrated ultrasound is an easily available bedside technique to assess ICP and hemodynamic characteristics of IJVs. ONSD measurement can identify patients with increased ICP, and reduced IJV BFV may aid the differentiation of CVST and IIH. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
