Summary

This study looks at whether a simple, safe ultrasound of the optic nerve can help doctors quickly detect brain swelling and inflammation in ICU patients with conditions like meningitis, stroke, or brain tumors. Researchers will measure the optic nerve sheath diameter and compare it with standard tests. If accurate, this low-cost tool could speed up life-saving treatments.
