Title Cerebrospinal Fluid Composition: a Clue to Optic Nerve Compartment Syndrome

Subject Asymmetric papilledema, Cerebro spinal fluid, Subarachnoid space, Betatrace protein, Optic nerve compartment syndrome
Description Unlike other cranial nerves, the optic nerve (ON) is covered by the meninges and surrounded by cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Its cul-de-sac anatomy, with unidirectional CSF influx from the chiasmal cistern into the subarachnoid space (SAS), renders its axons vulnerable to damage from elevated pressure or toxic substances.
