Objectives Elevated optic nerve sheath diameter on sonography is known to correlate with increased intracranial pressure and observed in acute mountain sickness. This study aimed determine whether changes ascent high altitude are associated sickness incidence. Methods Eighty‐six healthy adults enrolled at 1240 m (4100 ft), drove 3545 (11,700 ft) then hiked slept 3810 (12,500 ft). Lake Louise Questionnaire scores measurements were taken before, the evening of, morning after ascent. Results...
