To the best of our knowledge, this is the first prospective pilot study performed on pediatric patients with IIH using orbital USG for ONSD measurements. Despite the small sample size, the present study indicated that orbital USG may be used as a promising noninvasive tool to diagnose increased intracranial pressure and for monitoring treatment efficacy in this special patient population.
