Özet
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of rapid maxillary expansion on the optic nerve sheath diameter and to examine its possible effects on intracranial pressure. Design: 20 patients with bilateral crossbite were selected. Hyrax Expander was applied and activated twice daily until the overcorrection was achieved. The optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) was measured via ultrasonography before the first activation (T0), then repeated after 1 (T1) and 10 min (T2). At the end of the expansion, ONSD was measured (T3) again, then the screw was activated for the last time, and measurements were repeated after 1 (T4) and 10 min (T5). The Friedman test was performed to compare the changes, and The Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test was done to determine the significant intergroup changes (p < 0.05). Results: The ONSD increased significantly 1 min after the activations (T0-T1 and T3-T4) (P < 0.05). The ONSD values measured 10 min after the activations also increased significantly compared to the baseline values (T0-T2 and T3-T5) (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The activation of maxillary expansion appliances increased the optic nerve sheath diameter in adolescents. Therefore, orthodontists should be careful with patients at risk of intracranial hypertension.
