The reliability of the optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) measurements in determining the increase of the intracranial pressure was shown in previous studies. This is the first study in the literature presenting that the intracranial pressure effects of arachnoid cysts can be demonstrated by ONSD. We have considered that arachnoid cysts detected in headaches can create a compression effect and cause the pain to intensify.
