ObjectiveTo evaluate the effects of intrathecal infusion chemotherapy on intracranial pressure (ICP) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with leptomeningeal metastases (LM) by ultrasound measurement of the optic nerve beside the bed of optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD).MethodsA total of 31 NSCLC-LM patients who underwent intrathecal infusion chemotherapy at Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School from June 10, 2021 to December 25, 2022 were collected. The ONSD values were measured before and after the first lumbar puncture by bedside optic nerve ultrasound, and measured dynamically 30 min before intrathecal infusion chemotherapy (T0), 30 min (T1), 1 h (T2), 2 h (T3), 4 h (T4), 6 h (T5), and 24 h (T6) after intrathecal infusion chemotherapy. ICPONSDwas calculated, with differences between ICPLPand ICPONSD, and differences between ONSD and ICPONSDseries at different time being compared separately. Mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate, and headache score were assessed and compared respectively at T0, T1, T2, T3, T4, T5 and T6. Spearman analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between the response assessment in neuro-oncology (RANO) score and ICP.ResultsBefore the first lumbar puncture for cerebrospinal fluid drainage, ICPLPwas (218.55±63.83) mmH2O, left eye, right eye, and binocular eyes ICPONSDwere (217.28±57.17) mmH2O, (223.64±51.13) mmH2O, and (220.46±52.50) mmH2O respectively, in NSCLC-LM patients, with no statistically significant difference (F=0.77,P=0.463). After first lumbar puncture for cerebrospinal fluid drainage, ICPLPwas (214.68±58.01) mmH2O, left eye, right eye, and binocular eyes ICPONSDwere (216.71±48.96) mmH2O, (216.62±47.18) mmH2O, and (216.67±47.86) mmH2O respectively, with no statistically significant difference (F=0.12,P=0.757). At T0, T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, and T6, the MAP during intrathecal infusion chemotherapy was 89.80 (83.40, 93.67) mmHg, 95.00 (80.83, 99.37) mmHg, 91.86(79.88, 100.14) mmHg, 90.15(79.04, 100.55) mmHg, 105.14(88.55, 114.74) mmHg, 98.96 (81.72, 111.81) mmHg, and 89.29 (85.45, 100.38) mmHg, with a statistically significant difference (χ2=16.11,P=0.013); heart rates were 80.00 (75.00, 84.50) times/min, 80.00 (72.50, 87.50) times/min, 74.00(66.00, 87.50) times/min, 82.00 (72.00, 90.00) times/min, 80.00 (70.50, 90.00) times/min, 77.00 (68.00, 91.00) times/min, 77.00 (71.50, 88.50) times/min, with no statistically significant difference (χ2=2.18,P=0.902); headache scores were 2.00 (0.50, 3.00) score, 2.00 (1.00, 3.00) score, 2.00 (2.00, 3.00) score, 2.00 (1.00, 3.00) score, 2.00 (1.00, 2.00) score, 2.00 (1.00, 2.00) score, and 2.00 (0.00, 2.00) score, with no statistically significant difference (χ2=11.64,P=0.071). At T0, T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, and T6, left eye, right eye, and binocular ONSD were (5.85±0.64) mm, (5.72±0.68) mm, (7.11±1.11) mm, (6.42±0.78) mm, (5.69±0.63) mm, (5.61±0.64) mm, (5.65±0.88) mm, (5.85±0.12) mm, (5.89±0.12) mm, (6.93±0.20) mm, (6.40±0.14) mm, (5.71±0.12) mm, (5.66±0.12) mm, (5.33±0.14) mm, (5.85±0.64) mm, (5.81±0.64) mm, (7.02±1.03) mm, (6.41±0.75) mm, (5.70±0.63) mm, (5.64±0.63) mm, (5.49±0.76) mm, with statistically significant differences (F=58.48,P<0.001;F=49.34,P<0.001;F=78.05,P<0.001); ICPONSDwere (222.81±56.81) mmH2O, (211.89±60.29) mmH2O, (335.12±98.32) mmH2O, (274.17±68.87) mmH2O, (208.77±56.12) mmH2O, (201.75±56.79) mmH2O, (205.59±78.36) mmH2O, (223.26±58.33) mmH2O, (227.08±61.68) mmH2O, (319.36±101.10) mmH2O, (272.33±69.61) mmH2O, (211.21±57.73) mmH2O, (206.51±57.22) mmH2O, (177.22±68.98) mmH2O, (223.03±57.24) mmH2O, (219.49±57.24) mmH2O, (327.24±91.56) mmH2O, (273.25±67.04) mmH2O, (209.99±56.26) mmH2O, (204.13±56.29) mmH2O, (191.40±67.95) mmH2O, with statistically significant differences (F=58.48,P<0.001;F=49.34,P<0.001;F=78.13,P<0.001). The ONSD of the left eye, right eye, and binocular eyes and the corresponding ICPONSDincreased significantly at T2 compared with T0, T1, T3, T4, T5, and T6, with statistically significant differences (allP<0.05). Pre- and post-treatment RANO scores were 4.00 (3.00,7.00) score and 3.00 (2.00, 6.00) score respectively. Pre- and post-treatment RANO scores were positively correlated with ICPONSDin the left eye (r=0.55,P=0.001;r=0.60,P<0.001), right eye (r=0.54,P=0.001;r=0.46,P=0.009) and binocular eyes ICPONSDr=0.45,P=0.010;r=0.37,P=0.043).ConclusionIntrathecal infusion chemotherapy for NSCLC-LM patients can cause a transient increase in ONSD and ICP, with the greatest effect at 1 hour after intrathecal infusion chemotherapy. RANO score is positively correlated with ICPONSDbefore and after treatment, which can provide an important reference for evaluating the efficacy of intrathecal infusion chemotherapy.
