26 Lesions Produced by Infections and Inflammations of the Central Nervous SystemBarrett J. Katz, MD, MBA"The central nervous system (CNS) is anatomically protected from invasion by most organisms by structures such as bone, fibrous membranes, and vascular tight junctions (1-3). Nevertheless, once organisms gain entry to the CNS, they proliferate more easily than almost anywhere else in the body."
27 VasculitisSteven L. Galetta, MD, NYU Langone"In this chapter, we consider disorders that produce neuroophthalmologic symptoms and signs from inflammation of blood vessels."
28 IndexIndex to Walsh and Hoyt's Clinical Neuro-Ophthalmology, 6th Edition.
29 Bacteria and Bacterial DiseasesPrem S Subramanian, MD, PhD, ​Professor of Ophthalmology, Neurology, and Neurosurgery, University of ColoradoThis chapter describes various bacteria and bacterial diseases.
30 Complications of Cancer TherapyMark 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."
31 Disorders of Pupillary Function, Accommodation, and LacrimationAki Kawasaki, MD, PhD, Faculty of Biology and Medicine, University of Lausanne"In this chapter I describe various disorders that produce dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system as it pertains to the eye and orbit, including congenital and acquired disorders of pupillary function, accommodation, and lacrimation."
32 PapilledemaDeborah 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)."
33 PhacomatosesJohn Kerrison, MD, Retina Consultants of Charleston"Syndromes characterized by hamartomas of the skin, eye, central nervous system (CNS), and other viscera are collectivelycalled phacomatoses (1). These disorders produce significant visual and neurologic disturbances. Although most of these syndromes arise from mutations in single genes inherited in...
34 Spirochetal DiseasesLesser, Robert L"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)."

37 Anatomy and Physiology of Ocular Motor SystemsJames 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."
38 Miscellaneous Tumors of Neuro-Ophthalmologic InterestBenjamin 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."
39 Myopathies Affecting the Extraocular MusclesPaul N. Hoffman, MD, Departments of Neurology and Ophthalmology, Johns Hopkins Medicine"In this chapter, we consider disorders that produce ocular motor dysfunction from involvement of the extraocular muscles."
40 Nuclear and Infranuclear Ocular Motility DisordersJane C. Sargent, MD, Neurology, Clinical Neurophysiology, University of Massachusetts"Lesions of the oculomotor, trochlear, and abducens nerves may be located anywhere from the ocular motor nuclei to the termination of the nerves in the extraocular muscles in the orbit."
