9 Disorders of Neuromuscular TransmissionPreston C Calvert, MD"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."
10 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."
11 Embryology, Anatomy, and Physiology of the Afferent Visual PathwayJoseph 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 Fungi and Mycotic DiseasesJoel M. Weinstein, MD"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...

15 Ischemic Optic NeuropathyAnthony C. Arnold, MD, UCLA"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."
16 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."
17 Miscellaneous Diseases of Presumed Infectious EtiologyJacqueline Winterkorn, MD, PhD (1947-2015), Clinical Professor, Department of Ophthalmlogy, Weill Cornell Medicine; Zak, Rochelle S"In this chapter, we discuss diseases of neuro-ophthalmologic interest thought to be caused by infectious agents that have yet to be identified."
18 Mycoplasmal DiseasesBhatti, M Tarik"Mollicutes (trivial name, mycoplasmas) are the smallest free-living, replicating organisms known to humans, measuring 150 to 250 nm in diameter with a genome size ranging from 577 kilobase pairs (kbp) to 2200 kbp (compared with Escherichia coli, which has a diameter of 1000 nm and a genome size of ...
19 Neuro-Ophthalmologic Manifestations of Nonorganic DiseaseNeil 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...

Eggenberger, DO, Mayo Clinic"The prion (pronounced ‘‘pree-on'') diseases are clinically heterogeneous, progressive neurodegenerative disorders that share similar pathologic features, primarily spongiform degeneration of the brain (Figs. 53.1 and 53.2) and are caused by a transmissible agent with biologic properties unlike ...
25 Topical Diagnosis of Chiasmal and Retrochiasmal DisordersLeonard A. Levin, MD, PhD.
