Neuro-ophthalmology is an "overlap" specialty, encompassing all
disorders that affect the parts of the central nervous system related to
vision. Neuro-Ophthalmology Illustrated, Third Edition by world-renowned
neuro-ophthalmologists and professors Valérie Biousse and Nancy J.
Newman expands on the widely acclaimed prior editions, lauded with
awards by the Association of American Publishers and the British Medical
Association. The updated text reflects diagnostic advances such as
optical coherence tomography and features new high-quality images and
videos.
The text starts with neuro-ophthalmic and funduscopic examinations,
visual fields, commonly used ancillary testing methods, and an overview
of visual loss. Subsequent chapters detail a wide array of conditions
including retinal vascular diseases, optic neuropathies, disc edema,
disorders of higher cortical function, abnormal visual perceptions,
diplopia, orbital syndromes, cavernous sinus and orbital vascular
disorders, nystagmus/other ocular oscillations, and disorders of the
eyelid. Final chapters are dedicated to nonorganic neuro-ophthalmic
symptoms and signs, diagnosis of headache and facial pain, neurologic
and systemic disorders that commonly have neuro-ophthalmologic
manifestations, and an approach to management of the visually impaired
patient.
