Measurements for contrast-loaded cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the intracranial subarachnoid space (SAS) and in the SAS of the optic nerve (ON) using cisternography and optic nerve sheath diameter in CT, L-PGDS concentration in the CSF of the SAS of the ON obtained during optic nerve sheath fenestration and during lumbar puncture (LP) as well as measurement of intracranial pressure (ICP) during LP

  • Measurements of right ONs in italics for patient 10 are not included in the mean±SD calculations of right ONs, as this patient had papilloedema only on the left side.
