|
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." |

Topical Diagnosis of Tumors | Nancy J. Newman, MD, Emory Eye Center | "In this chapter, we consider the symptoms and signs that may occur in patients with ocular, orbital, intracranial, and spinal cord tumors." |

|
Anatomy and Physiology of Ocular Motor Systems | James A. Sharpe, MD, FRCP(C) (1941-2013); Agnes Wong, MD, PhD, FRCSC, University of Toronto | "In this chapter we describe physiologic processes and anatomic bases for the control of eye movements." |

|
Anatomy and Physiology of the Autonomic Nervous System | Randy H. Kardon, MD, PhD, Director of Neuro-Ophthalmology Services, Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, University of Iowa | "Body functions that are regulated independently of voluntary activity using reflex mechanisms involving afferent nerve input, efferent nerve output, and central integrating nerve pathways are part of the autonomic nervous system." |
7 |
|
Degenerative and Metabolic Diseases in Adults | Parashkev Nachev, PhD, MRCP(UK), University College London; Christopher Kennard, PhD, FRCP, FMed Sci, University of Oxford | This chapter describes degenerative and metabolic diseases in adults. |
8 |
|
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)." |

|
Neuro-Ophthalmologic Manifestations of Nonorganic Disease | Neil R Miller, M.D., Professor of Ophthalmology, Johns Hopkins University | "Patients who have physical signs and symptoms for which no adequate organic cause can be found may receive any one of a large range of diagnostic labels, including functional illness, functional overlay, hysteria, hysterical overlay, conversion reaction, psychophysiological reaction, somatization r... |

|
Embryology, Anatomy, and Physiology of the Afferent Visual Pathway | Joseph F. Rizzo III, MD, Massachusetts Eye and Ear | "The brain devotes more cells and connections to vision than any other sense or motor function. This chapter presents an overview of the development, anatomy, and physiology of this extremely complex but fascinating system." |
12 |
|
Nystagmus and Related Ocular Motility Disorders | John R. Leigh, MD, Professor of Neurology, Emeritus, Case Western Reserve University; Rucker, Janet C | "This chapter concerns abnormal eye movements that disrupt steady fixation and thereby degrade vision." |

|
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. |
