- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method a) What is the level of correlation of optic nerve sheath diameter in Ultrasound and CT Scan among the patients undergoing Ventriculoperitoneal shunt surgery? <br/ ><br>b)Is there any association between ONSD and clinical features among the patients undergoing VPS surgery? <br/ ><br>c)What is the level of agreement between USG and CT in the measurement of ONSD? <br/ ><br>Timepoint: The optic nerve sheath diameter will be measured in CT scan and ultrasound in the preoperative period and 12 hours after shunt insertion
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method 1. To assess the ONSD using USG and CT in patients undergoing VPS surgery. <br/ ><br>2. To identify the association of the ONSD with clinical factors among the patients undergoing VPS surgery. <br/ ><br>3. To identify the level of agreement between USG and CT on the measurement of ONSD in patients undergoing surgery. <br/ ><br>Timepoint: All these measurements will be done in the preoperative period and after 12 hours in the post-operative period
