Neuro-Ophthalmology

Part of the "What Do I Do Now?" series, Neuro-Ophthalmology uses a case-based approach to cover common and important topics in the examination, investigation, and management of afferent visual, efferent eye movement, eyelid, pupil, and orbital disorders. Each chapter provides a discussion of the diagnosis, key points to remember, and selected references for further reading. For this new edition, all cases and references have been updated and new cases havebeen added, including neuroretinitis, autosomal dominant optic atrophy, carotid-cavernous fistula, and more. Neuro-Ophthalmology is an engaging collection of thought-provoking cases which clinicians can utilize when they encounter difficult patients. The volume is also a self-assessment tool that tests thereader's ability to answer the question, "What do I do now?"

This updated edition is a worthy entry in the field and is a must-read for ophthalmologists at all levels. The short, but concise nature of the book leaves no excuses not to do so. The information it contains can potentially aid in a more rapid and accurate diagnosis of patients who come in with neuro-ophthalmologic complaints., Neuro-Ophthalmology in its second edition is concise, comprehensive, and reader friendly, providing the reader with a very well organized, practical approach to neuro-ophthalmology's most common problems. This text is excellent as both a standalone review of neuro-ophthalmology, and as a necessary aid to both experts and non-experts seeing these complicated patients., Neuro-Ophthalmology is an easy read and the relevant information can be gleaned in just minutes. I highly recommend this companion to trainees and practitioners at every level of expertise looking for a quick neuro-ophthalmology guide., Masterfully written, this book will break down the barriers of discomfort and unfamiliarity clinicians often face when confronted with Neuro-ophthalmologist symptoms and signs. The overall organization of the book is excellent, allowing for easy access to brief yet remarkably complete reviews of each Neuro-ophthalmologic diagnosis. I highly recommend it to any medical professional involved in the care of patients with visual symptoms!
