Section 7: Tumors | John Kerrison, MD, Retina Consultants of Charleston | An overview of Section 7. |
2 |

Tumors of Cranial and Peripheral Nerves | Chesnutt, David A | "Although there are differences between the behavior of primary tumors of the cranial nerves and primary tumors of the peripheral nerves, their structural similarities permit them to be discussed together." |

|
Tumors of Neuroectodermal Origin | Hedges III, Thomas R | "Neuroectodermal tumors arise from cells derived from the primitive neuroectoderm (1) including neuroglial cells, parenchymal cells of the pineal gland, neurons, and primitive embryonal cells of the brain and retina." |

|
Tumors of Maldevelopmental Origin and Related Lesions | Karl C. Golnik, MD, Departments of Ophthalmology, Neurology & Neurosurgery, University of Cincinnati & The Cincinnati Eye Institute | "Some intracranial lesions result from abnormal development during embryogenesis." |
5 |
|
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." |

Tumors of the Meninges and Related Tissues: Meningiomas and Sarcomas | Cockerham, Kimberely P; Kennerdell, John S; Maroon, Joseph C; Bejjani, Ghassan K | "The meninges of the brain and spinal cord consist of three different layers: the dura mater, arachnoid (tela arachnoidea), and pia mater." |

|
Tumors of the Pituitary Gland | Gittinger Jr., John W | "Tumors of the pituitary gland are so important from a neuro-ophthalmologic standpoint that they are considered in a separate chapter." |
8 |
|
Miscellaneous Tumors of Neuro-Ophthalmologic Interest | Benjamin M. Frishberg, M.D. | "In this chapter we consider several tumors that may produce neuro-ophthalmologic symptoms and signs that do not specifically arise from intradural neural tissue." |
9 |
|
Paraneoplastic Diseases of Neuro-Ophthalmologic Interest | Jacobsen, Daniel M; Pomeranz, Howard D | "A number of disorders characterized by visual dysfunction, neurologic dysfunction, or both occur in the setting of known or suspected cancers but do not result from the direct effects of the tumor." |

|
Tumors Derived from Hematopoietic Cells and Tissue | John Kerrison, MD, Retina Consultants of Charleston | "Hematopoiesis is the orderly process of blood cell proliferation and maturation." |

|
Complications of Cancer Therapy | Mark L. Moster, MD, Thomas Jefferson University; Rod Foroozan, M.D., Baylor College of Medicine | "Patients with cancer frequently have neurologic, ophthalmologic, or neuro-ophthalmologic complications." |
