Özet
Background: Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is an irreplaceable form of treatment used in many psychiatric disorders. However, its effect on the central nervous system is not clearly known. Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter (ONSD) can be measured by ultrasound and has been shown to vary with intracranial pressure. In our study, we aimed to evaluate the intracranial pressure changes that may be caused by ECT with ONSD. Methods: In this study, ONSD measurements of 20 psychiatric patients who underwent ECT were evaluated before and after the ECT session. Results: There was a statistically significant increase in ONSD from that measured after anesthetic administration but before rocuronium administration (baseline) to after the completion of individual ECT treatments, and baseline ONSD also showed a steady increase from the first to the fifth treatment, which reached statistical significance at the fifth treatment. Conclusion: Classically, it was found that ICP increased with ECT. But more importantly if ONSD reflects the ICP realistically; these results showed that ICP tends to increase with each ECT, and this increase significantly differs as the number of sessions progresses.
