Subjects

We read with great interest the article by Christy Ambrose et al. regarding the diagnostic accuracy of optic nerve OCT and ultrasound in pediatric patients, referred with suspected papilloedema and very low rates of raised ICP [1].

We would like to congratulate the authors on their remarkable paper, but we would like to make some comments.
