Thinner peripapillary retinal nerve fibre layer and macular retinal thickness in adolescents with surgically treated hydrocephalus in infancy.

Thinner ppRNFL and MRT and smaller MRV were found in adolescents with surgically treated HC in infancy compared with controls. In contrast, the central macular RNFL and foveal minimum were thicker. Further studies are required to evaluate the diagnostic value of OCT to indicate increased intracranial pressure timely and follow-up in individuals with surgically treated HC.
