This study shall compare the diameter of the optic nerve sheath (a nerve in the eye) with CT Scan of the head in adult patients with head injury for assessment of raised pressures in the head (intracranial hypertension).

Ultrasound guided optic nerve sheath diameter, in comparison to computerised tomography scan for assessment of raised intracranial pressure in adult traumatic brain injury patients admitted to ICU/HDU: A prospective longitudinal observational study
