Craniosynostosis can be associated with raised intracranial pressure (ICP), which can pose deleterious effects on the brain and vision if untreated. Estimating ICP in children is challenging, whilst gold standard direct intracranial measurement of ICP is invasive and carries risk. This systematic review aims to evaluate the role of optical coherence tomography (OCT), a noninvasive imaging technique, for detecting raised ICP in children with craniosynostosis.
