Compressive and Infiltrative Optic Neuropathies | Nicholas J Volpe, MD, Northwestern University | "Compressive lesions within the orbit, the optic canal and, rarely, intracranially, may result in disc swelling (Fig. 8.1)." |
2 |
|
Hereditary Optic Neuropathies | Nancy J. Newman, MD, Emory Eye Center | "The hereditary optic neuropathies comprise a group of disorders in which the cause of optic nerve dysfunction appears to be hereditable, based onfamilial expressionor genetic analysis (1,2)." |

|
Traumatic Optic Neuropathies | Kenneth D Steinsapir, MD; Robert A. Goldberg, MD, UCLA | Traumatic optic nerve injuries are calssically divided into direct and indirect injuries. |

|
Ischemic Optic Neuropathy | Anthony C. Arnold, MD, UCLA | "Ischemic syndromes of the optic nerve (ischemic optic neuropathy [ION]) are classified according to (a) the location of the ischemic damage of the nerve and (b) the etiologic factor, if known, for the ischemia." |

|
Topical Diagnosis of Chiasmal and Retrochiasmal Disorders | Leonard A. Levin, MD, PhD. Chair of Ophthalmology, McGill University | "The optic chiasm is one of the most important structures in neuro-ophthalmologic diagnosis. The arrangement of visual fibers in the chiasm accounts for the characteristic visual field defects caused by such diverse lesions as tumor, inflammation, demyelination, ischemia, and infiltration." |

|
Toxic and Deficiency Optic Neuropathies | Paul H. Phillips, M.D., University of Arkansas | "Physicians have known for centuries that the anterior visual pathways are vulnerable to damage from nutritional deficiency and chemicals." |

|
Optic Neuritis | Craig H. Smith MD, Swedish Medical Center-Cherry Hill | "Optic neuritis is a term usedto refer to inflammation of the optic nerve." |

|
Papilledema | Deborah I. Friedman, MD, MPH, Professor, Neurology & Neurotherapeutics, University of Texas Southwestern | "Papilledema is one of the most alarming signs in clinical medicine. Papilledema specifically refers to swelling of the optic disc resulting from increased intracranial pressure (ICP)." |

|
Topical Diagnosis of Acquired Optic Nerve Disorders | Alfredo A. Sadun, MD, PhD, Flora L. Thornton Chair, Professor of Ophthalmology and Neurological Surgery, Keck School of Medicine at USC; Agarwal, Madhu R | Distinguishing an optic neuropathy from retinal disease. |

Central Disorders of Visual Function | Matthew Rizzo, M.D., F.A.A.N., Department of Neurological Sciences, University of Nebraska; Jason J S Barton, MD PhD FRCP(C), Professor, Medicine (Neurology), Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, Psychology, The University of British Columbia | "This chapter addresses aspects of behavior disorders caused by damage to the visual cortex and white matter connections." |
