Transpalpebral ultrasonographic measurement of the optic nerve sheath diameter in healthy dogs

ConclusionsThese results suggest that ONSD‐US may be reliably measured in dogs using our described transpalpebral approach, and we have calculated prediction intervals based on body weight. Future studies are needed to determine if ONSD‐US measurements are associated with intracranial hypertension as shown in human medicine.
