Description: Purpose To compare transorbital point-of-care ultrasound techniques —optic nerve sheath diameter (US-ONSD) and optic disc elevation (US-ODE)— with fundoscopic papilledema to detect potentially raised intracranial pressure (ICP) with treatment indication in children. Methods In a prospective study, 72 symptomatic children were included, 50 with later proven disease associated with raised ICP (e.g. pseudotumour cerebri, brain tumour, hydrocephalus) and 22 with pathology excluded. Bilateral US-ONSD and US-ODE were quantified by US using a 12-MHz-linear-array transducer. This was compared to fundoscopic optic disc findings (existence of papilledema) and, in 28 cases, invasively measured ICP values. Results The sensitivity and specificity of a cut-off value of US-ONSD (5.73 mm) to detect treatment indication for diseases associated with increased ICP was 92% and 86.4%, respectively, compared to US-ODE (0.43 mm) with sensitivity: 72%, specificity: 77.3%. Fundoscopic papilledema had a sensitivity of 46% and a specificity of 100% in this context. Repeatability and observer-reliability of US-ODE examination was eminent (Cronbach’s α = 0.978–0.989). Papilledema was detected fundoscopically only when US-ODE was > 0.67 mm; a US-ODE > 0.43 mm had a positive predictive value of 90% for potentially increased ICP. Conclusion In our cohort, transorbital point-of-care US-ONSD and US-ODE detected potentially elevated ICP requiring treatment in children more reliably than fundoscopy. US-ONSD and US-ODE indicated the decrease in ICP after treatment earlier and more reliably than fundoscopy. The established cut-off values for US-ONSD and US-ODE and a newly developed US-based grading of ODE can be used as an ideal first-line screening tool to detect or exclude conditions with potentially elevated ICP in children.
