Abstract:
Purpose
To evaluated the correlation between intracranial pressure (ICP) and intraocular pressure (IOP).
Methods
This interventional case series included 90 patients undergoing lumbar puncture (LP) for neurologist evaluation. IOP was measured before and 1 hour after the LP by using Goldmann tono-meter. Patients were compared into two groups: patients with normal ICP (<20 cmH2O) and patients with high ICP (≥20 cmH2O).
Results
Patients included 29 male and 61 female subjects with mean age of 32.9±11.4 (range 13-62) years. Thirty-three patients had normal ICP and 57 patients had high ICP. There was a significant correlation between ICP and IOP such that 71.9% of the high ICP group had high IOP (>21 mmHg) and 28.1% of them had normal IOP (P<0.001). Significant decrease in IOP occurred after LP in the high ICP group (P< 0.001).
Conclusions
It seems that there is a significant correlation between IOP and ICP.
