3 Optic NeuritisCraig H. Smith MD, Swedish Medical Center-Cherry Hill"Optic neuritis is a term usedto refer to inflammation of the optic nerve."
4 Principles and Techniques of the Examination of the Visual Sensory SystemMichael Wall, MD, University of Iowa, Department of Neurology and Ophthalmology; Johnson, Chris A"This chapter describes the most common subjective and objective tests used in the afferent visual system examination."
5 Headache and Facial PainGregory P. Van Stavern, MD, Associate Professor, Ophthalmology & Visual Sciences and Neurology, Washington University School of Medicine"Headache and facial pain are common complaints and represent a diverse range of etiologies, from benign to lifeand vision-threatening."
6 Multiple Sclerosis and Related Demyelinating DiseasesLaura J. Balcer, MD, Professor, Department of Neurology, NYU Langone"Destruction of myelin, demyelination, may occur in a variety of diverse inflammatory disorders. Demyelination may result from viral infections and is a prominent feature in the group of disorders known as the demyelinating diseases, of which multiple sclerosis (MS) is perhaps the most well known."

8 Traumatic Optic NeuropathiesKenneth D Steinsapir, MD; Robert A. Goldberg, MD, UCLATraumatic optic nerve injuries are calssically divided into direct and indirect injuries.
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 IntroductionMiller, Neil R; Newman, Nancy J; Biousse, Valerie; Kerrison, John BFrontice material and introduction to Walsh and Hoyt's Clinical Neuro-Ophthalmology.
11 Toxic and Deficiency Optic NeuropathiesPaul H. Phillips, M.D., University of Arkansas"Physicians have known for centuries that the anterior visual pathways are vulnerable to damage from nutritional deficiency and chemicals."
12 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."
13 Hereditary Optic NeuropathiesNancy J. Newman, MD, Emory Eye Center"The hereditary optic neuropathies comprise a group of disorders in which the cause of optic nerve dysfunction appears to be hereditable, based onfamilial expressionor genetic analysis (1,2)."
14 Prions and Prion DiseasesEric 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 ...

16 Compressive and Infiltrative Optic NeuropathiesNicholas J Volpe, MD, Northwestern University"Compressive lesions within the orbit, the optic canal and, rarely, intracranially, may result in disc swelling (Fig. 8.1)."

18 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."
19 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."
20 VasculitisSteven L. Galetta, MD, NYU Langone"In this chapter, we consider disorders that produce neuroophthalmologic symptoms and signs from inflammation of blood vessels."
21 Tumors of Cranial and Peripheral NervesChesnutt, 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."
22 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."
23 Principles and Techniques of Examination of the Pupils, Accomodation, and LacrimationKathleen B. Digre, MD, Professor of Neurology and Ophthalmology, Director of Neuro-Ophthalmology, John A. Moran Eye Center, University of Utah School of Medicine"As is the case with any assessment in neuro-ophthalmology, assessment of the pupils requires a meticulous history and a rigorous examination."
