3 Nystagmus and Related Ocular Motility DisordersJohn R. Leigh, MD, Professor of Neurology, Emeritus, Case Western Reserve University; Rucker, Janet C"This chapter concerns abnormal eye movements that disrupt steady fixation and thereby degrade vision."
4 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."
5 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."
6 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."
7 IndexIndex to Walsh and Hoyt's Clinical Neuro-Ophthalmology, 6th Edition.
8 Normal and Abnormal Eyelid FunctionBarry Skarf, MD, PhD, Henry Ford Health System"Disorders of neuro-ophthalmologic significance may affect not only visual sensory, ocular motor, and pupil function but also the function of the eyelids."
9 Vascular Malformations and Tumors of Blood VesselsLee, AndrewThis chapter describes vascular formations and blood vessel tumors.
10 Tumors of Maldevelopmental Origin and Related LesionsKarl C. Golnik, MD, Departments of Ophthalmology, Neurology & Neurosurgery, University of Cincinnati & The Cincinnati Eye Institute"Some intracranial lesions result from abnormal development during embryogenesis."
11 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...
12 Principles and Techniques of the Examination of the Ocular Motility and AlignmentMark S. Borchert, MD, University of Southern California"In this chapter, we discuss normal and abnormal monocular and binocular eye movements as they pertain to the techniques used in the examina-tion of patients with disorders of ocular motility."
13 AneurysmsSteven A. Newman, M.D., University of Virginia School of MedicineThis chapter includes the history, Definition, Pathogenesis and description of a number of different aneurysms.

15 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)."
16 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)."

20 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."
