Despite recent advances in ophthalmic technology, the presence of papilledema, sign of possible intracranial hypertension or optic nerve disease, can often be challenging.
To find the possibility to make such a differential diagnosis and to follow up these patients with a non invasive and easily achievable technique, could provide a correct management and improve the patient’s recovery.
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) and ultrasonography are well known to be non-invasive, repeatable, and trusty techniques for studying several eye and orbital diseases. Among these, optic nerve studies have been entertained in the effort to prove the utility of these techniques in the differential diagnosis of these disease, with divergent results.
The scope of this Research Topic will be to promote research on the role of OCT and Ultrasound in the differential diagnosis of optic nerve disease.
