Neuro-Ophthalmology: Diagnosis and Management

By Grant T. Liu, Nicholas J. Volpe, Steven L. Galetta, et al.

Neuro-Ophthalmologywas developed for practitioners, residents, and students who encounter patients with disturbances of the afferent visual pathways and efferent ocular motor systems. It contains in-depth discussionsof neurophthalmic topics and disorders to help readers diagnose and manage patients. Each chapter includes an introduction to the structures or disorders discussed, followed by a review of their neuroanatomy, symptoms, and signs. A detailed discussion ofthe presentation, pathophysiology, diagnosis, neuroimaging and diagnostic studies, and management of the diseases which affect that structure follows.The book is divided into four parts history and examination, afferent disorders, efferent disorders, and headache to provide readers with thorough, clinically focused information.Repetition between chapters is kept to a minimum through diligent cross-referencing of topics, figures, and tables.
Reviews of neuroanatomy andneurophysiology are based upon clinical and pathological observations in humans without extensive discussion of experimental literature involving non-human primates and other animals, making this resource excellent for board preparation.The examination chapter includes reviews of the neurological examination and the bedside neuro-ophthalmic evaluation of comatose patients, helping readers to neuroanatomically localize the problem and determine its etiology.
Highly illustrated and referenced, this organized and uniform textbook bridges the gap between neuro-ophthalmic encyclopedias and neuro-ophthalmic handbooks containing tables, outlines, and flow-diagrams.
