Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy) | Hereditary Optic Neuropathy - A hereditary optic neuropathy is caused by a genetic variant (or mutation) that causes dysfunction of the neurons (nerve cells) which form the optic nerve. The optic nerve sends information from the back of the eye to the vision center in the brain.The two most common t... | Hereditary Optic Neuropathy; Patient Brochure | Neuro-ophthalmology Virtual Education Library: NOVEL http://NOVEL.utah.edu |

Leber's Optic Neuropathy (PowerPoint) | Several Primary Mutations result in Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy, including mitochondrial deletions at positions 11778, 3460, and 14484. Although the 11778 is the most common mutation, the 11484 has the best prognosis for spontaneous recovery. This case exhibits the 3460 mutation. | Leber's Optic Neuropathy | Neuro-ophthalmology Virtual Education Library: NOVEL http://NOVEL.utah.edu |

Optic Neuropathy: A Recipe for Blindness | An epidemic of blindness and peripheral neuropathy struck Cuba in the early 90s. By the end of 1993, 7% of the population was affected. Most patients were men and presented with sub-acute, painless, bilateral loss of vision. The etiology of the disease pondered local and international scientists, es... | Cuban Epidemic Optic Neuropathy; Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy; Mitochondrial Insufficiency; Nutritional Optic Neuropathy; Pale Optic Nerve | Neuro-ophthalmology Virtual Education Library: NOVEL http://NOVEL.utah.edu |

2013 William F Hoyt Lecture: Neuro-Ophthalmology in Review: Around the Brain with 50 Fellows | No matter what their ultimate specialty, every ophthalmologist needs to master the basics of neuroophthalmology. To that end, we must ensure that we continue to train effective teachers of neuro-ophthalmology. This is William F. Hoyt's most important lasting legacy and charge. In this same spirit, E... | History | Neuro-ophthalmology Virtual Education Library: NOVEL http://NOVEL.utah.edu |

Neuro-Ophthalmic Manifestations of Mitochondrial Disease | Classically, mitochondrial diseases exhibit a maternal inheritance pattern because pathogenic mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) are transmitted exclusively via the maternal lineage due to rapid degradation of sperm-derived mitochondria early in embryogenesis. However, mutations in mtDNA may occ... | Mitochondrial Disease; Pathophysiology | Neuro-ophthalmology Virtual Education Library: NOVEL http://NOVEL.utah.edu |
