1. Optic nerve sheath dilation, defined as greater than 5.0mm on ultrasound, had a high specificity for indicating elevated intracranial pressure, while less than 5.0mm had a high sensitivity to help rule out elevated intracranial pressures. 2. Patients presenting with a suspected traumatic brain injury and a positive ultrasound result...
