Open Access Abstract Introduction The optic nerve sheath diameter ONSD may be increased in brain-injured patients especially children with intracranial hypertension. We investigated whether measurements of ONSD correlated with simultaneous noninvasive and invasive measurements of the intracranial pressure ICP in brain-injured adults. Methods Seventy-six critical care patients 58 males 47 18 years old were included in the study. Fifty patients suffered from brain injury whereas 26 had no intracranial pathology and served as control individuals. Initially brain-injured patients were evaluated clinically Glasgow Coma Scale and using a semiquantitative I to VI neuroimaging scale Marshall Scale . Thereafter the patients were divided into those with moderate Marshall Scale I and Glasgow Coma Scale 8 n 18 and severe Marshall Scale II to VI and Glasgow Coma Scale 8 n 32 brain injury. All patients underwent noninvasive
