Exploring the utility of retinal optical coherence tomography as a biomarker for idiopathic intracranial hypertension: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to examine the existing literature that investigated the effectiveness of optical coherence tomography (OCT) and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) as a biomarker for idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). Our search was conducted on January 17th, 2024, and included the databases, Medline, Scopus, Embase, Cochrane, Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature (LILACS), International Standard Randomized Controlled Trial Number (ISRCTN) registry, and the International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP).
