Abstract

We have read the article titled “Assessment of Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter in Healthy Adults in Turkey” prepared by Gökçen et al. with great interest.1 We thank the authors for this informative and successful manuscript. We also would like to mention an important point about sonographic measurement of optic nerve sheath diameter.

Keywords
