Related to excellent intra-individual correlations between US-ONSD and ICP, an individualized regression formula, created from two pairs of US-ONSD/ICP values, may be used to directly approximate ICP based on US-ONSD values. Hence, US-ONSD may become a non-invasive and reliable measure to control treatment efficacy in pediatric IIH.
