Ultrasonography of Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter in Healthy Volunteers by Ariel Sosa Remón, Wilfredo Boch Rodríguez, Dasha María García Arias, Carmen Esther Remón Chávez, Ana Esperanza Jerez Álvarez, Arian Jesús Cuba Naranjo

“…In the simple linear regression analysis, only sex was associated with the value of the diameter of the optic nerve sheath (p= 0.000).<br /> <strong>Conclusions:</strong> in a population of healthy volunteers, the value of the diameter of the optic nerve sheath was similar to other descriptions, with differences between sex, which suggests taking this variable into consideration when making the measurement.…”
