Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Hydrocephalus patients in the age group from 2 to 60years of age undergoing elective or emergency Ventriculo-peritoneal shunt surgery in our institute

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Revision surgery, patients with eye injury, Patients with a history of optic neuritis, arachnoid cyst of the optic nerve, high myopia, optic nerve trauma, and anterior orbital or cavernous sinus mass will be excluded from the study

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
a) What is the level of correlation of optic nerve sheath diameter in Ultrasound and CT Scan among the patients undergoing Ventriculoperitoneal shunt surgery? b) Is there any association between ONSD and clinical features among the patients undergoing VPS surgery? c) What is the level of agreement between USG and CT in the measurement of ONSD? Timepoint: The optic nerve sheath diameter will be measured in CT scan and ultrasound in the preoperative period and 12 hours after shunt insertion

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. To assess the ONSD using USG and CT in patients undergoing VPS surgery. 2. To identify the association of the ONSD with clinical factors among the patients undergoing VPS surgery. 3. To identify the level of agreement between USG and CT on the measurement of ONSD in patients undergoing surgery. Timepoint: All these measurements will be done in the preoperative period and after 12 hours in the post-operative period
