1 Ischemic Optic Neuropathy"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."Optic Nerve Diseases; Optic Neuropathy, Ischemic; Papilledema
2 Toxic and Deficiency Optic Neuropathies"Physicians have known for centuries that the anterior visual pathways are vulnerable to damage from nutritional deficiency and chemicals."Optic Nerve Diseases; Malnutrition; Toxicity; Optic Neuropathy
3 Topical Diagnosis of Acquired Optic Nerve DisordersDistinguishing an optic neuropathy from retinal disease.Optic Nerve Diseases; Eye Abnormalities; Visual Impairments; Optic Atrophy
4 Vasculitis"In this chapter, we consider disorders that produce neuroophthalmologic symptoms and signs from inflammation of blood vessels."Vascular Diseases; Vasculitis; Vasculitides; Behcet's Disease; Connective Tissue Disease; Arthritides; Idiopathic Retinal Vasculitis; Eales' Disease
5 IndexIndex to Walsh and Hoyt's Clinical Neuro-Ophthalmology, 6th Edition.
6 Traumatic Optic NeuropathiesTraumatic optic nerve injuries are calssically divided into direct and indirect injuries.Optic Nerve Diseases; Wounds and Injuries
7 Papilledema"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)."Optic Nerve Diseases; Papilledema; Optic Atrophy; Pseudotumor Cerebri
8 Anatomy and Physiology of the Autonomic Nervous System"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."Autonomic Nervous System; Anatomy; Physiology
9 Complications of Cancer Therapy"Patients with cancer frequently have neurologic, ophthalmologic, or neuro-ophthalmologic complications."Neoplasms; Neoplasms, Therapy; Chemotherapy, Adverse Effects; Radiotherapy, Adverse Effects; Bone Marrow Transplantation, Adverse Effects
10 Embryology, Anatomy, and Physiology of the Afferent Visual Pathway"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."Eye, Growth and Development; Eye, Anatomy and Histology; Ocular Physiological Phenomena
11 Spirochetal Diseases"Spirochetes are widely distributed in nature and often are found in aquatic environments, but they colonize humans. All spirochetal infections are characterized by skin or mucous membrane penetration followed by a spirochetemia that produces damage during several clinical stages (2)."Infectious Diseases; Lyme Disease; Relapsing Fever; Syphilis; Leptospirosis
12 Venous Occlusive Disease"Occlusion or insufficiency of the venous drainage in the head and neck can cause a range of neurologic and ophthal-mologic manifestations. Clinical features vary depending on the location and mechanism of occlusion."Vascular Diseases; Venous Occlusive Disease; Venous Occlusions; Cerebral Venous Thrombosis; Jugular Vein Occlusion; Retinal Vein Occlusion; Superior Ophthalmic Vein Occlusion; Superir Vena Cava Occlusion
13 Congenital Anomalies of the Optic Disc"Certain general principles are particularly useful in the evaluation and management of patients with anomalous optic discs."Eye Abnormalities
14 Disorders of Neuromuscular Transmission"To understand the pathophysiology of the defects in myasthenia gravis (MG) and other disorders that damage the neuromuscular junction (NMJ), it is necessary to have some knowledge of the basic events of neuromuscular transmission."Ocular Motor System
15 Fungi and Mycotic Diseases"Opportunistic fungal infections are common and continue to increase in frequency and severity as a consequence of the use of immunosuppressive therapy after solid-organ transplantation and for a variety of diseases, particularly cancer, and because of the increasing prevalence of the acquired immun...Infectious Diseases; Fungi; Molds; Yeasts; Prototheca Wickerhamii; Central Nervous System Fungal Infections
16 Optic Neuritis"Optic neuritis is a term usedto refer to inflammation of the optic nerve."Optic Nerve Diseases; Optic Neuritis; Multiple Sclerosis; Inflammation
17 Protozoa and Protozoal Diseases"Protozoa (from the Latin words proto, meaning ‘‘first,'' and zoon, meaning ‘‘animal'') are acellular or unicellular organisms that are found all over the world in moist soil, fresh water, and oceans."Infectious Diseases; Protozoa; Protozoal Diseases; Amoebae; Microsporidia; Malaria; Toxoplasmosis; Trypanosomiasis; Babesiosis
