ObjectivesTo evaluate the optic nerve and CSF in the optic nerve sheath as imaging markers of dysthyroid optic neuropathy (DON).MethodsIn this single-centre retrospective study, orbital images of 30 consecutive participants (54 orbits) with DON, 30 patients (60 orbits) with thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) without DON, and 19 healthy controls (HCs; 38 orbits) were analysed. The diameter and cross-sectional area of the optic nerve and its sheath, water fraction of the optic nerve, and volume of the fluid in the optic nerve sheath were measured and compared. The associations between MR parameters and clinical measures were assessed using correlation analysis.ResultsThe diameter and water fraction of the optic nerve (3 mm and 6 mm behind the eyeball), optic nerve subarachnoid space (ONSS) (3 mm and 6 mm behind the eyeball), and subarachnoid fluid volume in the optic nerve sheath were significantly greater in the DON group than in the TAO group (p< 0.01) or HC group (p< 0.01). ROC analysis showed that ONSS 3 mm behind the eyeball (ONSS3) was a robust predictor of DON (AUC = 0.957, sensitivity = 0.907, specificity = 0.9). Water fraction of the optic nerve 3 mm behind the eyeball (water fraction3) had the best specificity (0.967). Water fraction3, fluid volume in the optic nerve sheath, and optic nerve diameter (3 mm behind the eyeball) were correlated with clinical measures (i.e. clinical activity score, mean defect, and pattern standard deviation).ConclusionsIncreased water fraction of the optic nerve and ONSS3 are promising and easily accessible radiological markers for diagnosing DON.Key Points• The water fraction of the optic nerve and optic nerve subarachnoid space (ONSS) are greater in patients with dysthyroid optic neuropathy (DON) than in patients with thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) without DON.• The optic nerve and the cerebrospinal fluid in the optic nerve sheath measures are associated with visual dysfunction.• The water fraction of the optic nerve and ONSS may be promising imaging markers for diagnosing DON.
