Description |
We examined the biomechanical deformation of load bearing structures of the optic nerve head (ONH) resulting from raised intracranial pressure, using high resolution, spectral domain optical coherence tomography (HD-OCT). We postulated that elevated intracranial pressure induces forces in the retrolaminar subarachnoid space that can deform ONH structures, particularly the peripapillary Bruch's membrane (BM) and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) layers. |
