We read with great consideration the article by Montorfano et al regarding the ultrasound
evaluation of the optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) to detect increased intracranial
pressure during acute elevations in intra-abdominal pressure.

We believe that this study is very remarkable, but we would like to comment on some
aspects of B-scan ultrasound technique.To read this article in full you will need to make a payment

- PreviewAbdominal compartment syndrome has been linked to detrimental hemodynamic side effects that include increased intracranial pressure and diminished renal function, but the mechanisms behind this continue to be elucidated. In this study, we sought to investigate any direct association between acute elevations in intra-abdominal pressure and intracranial hypertension during experimentally induced abdominal compartment syndrome and between acutely elevated intracranial pressure and the hemodynamic response that might be elicited by a vasopressin-induced Cushing reflex affecting urine osmolality and urine output.
