Lake Louise Questionnaire scores and optic nerve sheath diameter measurements were taken before, the evening of, and the morning after ascent.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The incidence of acute mountain sickness was 55.8%, with a mean Lake Louise Questionnaire score \u00b1 SD of 3.81 \u00b1 2.5. The mean maximum optic nerve sheath diameter increased on ascent from 5.58 \u00b1 0.79 to 6.13 \u00b1 0.73 mm, a difference of 0.91 \u00b1 0.55 mm (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = .09). Optic nerve sheath diameter increased at high altitude regardless of acute mountain sickness diagnosis; however, compared to baseline values, we observed a significant increase in diameter only in those with a diagnosis of acute mountain sickness (0.57 \u00b1 0.77 versus 0.21 \u00b1 0.76 mm; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = .04). This change from baseline, or \u0394 optic nerve sheath diameter, was associated with twice the odds of developing acute mountain sickness (95% confidence interval, 1.08\u20133.93).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The mean optic nerve sheath diameter increased on ascent to high altitude compared to baseline values, but not to a statistically significant degree. The magnitude of the observed \u0394 optic nerve sheath diameter was positively associated with acute mountain sickness diagnosis. No such significant association was found between acute mountain sickness and diameter elevation above standard cutoff values, limiting the utility of sonography as a diagnostic tool.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.7863\/ultra.15.14.10060","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,8,26]],"date-time":"2015-08-26T19:35:47Z","timestamp":1440617747000},"page":"1677-1682","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":32,"title":["Optic
