1 Section 9: Vascular DiseaseValérie Biousse, MD Departments of Ophthalmology and Neurology, Emory University School of MedicineAn overview of Section 9.
2 Topical Diagnosis of Chiasmal and Retrochiasmal DisordersLeonard A. Levin, MD, PhD. Chair of Ophthalmology, McGill University"The optic chiasm is one of the most important structures in neuro-ophthalmologic diagnosis. The arrangement of visual fibers in the chiasm accounts for the characteristic visual field defects caused by such diverse lesions as tumor, inflammation, demyelination, ischemia, and infiltration."
3 Supranuclear and Internuclear Ocular Motility DisordersZee, David S; Newman-Toker David"In this chapter, we survey clinicopathologic correlations for supranuclear ocular motor disorders."
4 Topical Diagnosis of TumorsNancy J. Newman, MD, Emory Eye Center"In this chapter, we consider the symptoms and signs that may occur in patients with ocular, orbital, intracranial, and spinal cord tumors."
5 Protozoa and Protozoal DiseasesWayne T. Cornblath, MD, Clinical Professor, Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, Professor, Department of Neurology, University of Michigan"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."
6 Topical Diagnosis of Acquired Optic Nerve DisordersAlfredo A. Sadun, MD, PhD, Flora L. Thornton Chair, Professor of Ophthalmology and Neurological Surgery, Keck School of Medicine at USC; Agarwal, Madhu RDistinguishing an optic neuropathy from retinal disease.
7 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."
8 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."
9 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...
10 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."
11 Cerebrovascular DiseaseValérie Biousse, MD Departments of Ophthalmology and Neurology, Emory University School of Medicine"Cerebrovascular disease is the most commondevastatin g condition that affects the central nervous system (CNS)."
12 Anatomy and Physiology of the Autonomic Nervous SystemRandy H. Kardon, MD, PhD, Director of Neuro-Ophthalmology Services, Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, University of Iowa"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."
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.
14 Central Disorders of Visual FunctionMatthew Rizzo, M.D., F.A.A.N., Department of Neurological Sciences, University of Nebraska; Jason J S Barton, MD PhD FRCP(C), Professor, Medicine (Neurology), Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, Psychology, The University of British Columbia"This chapter addresses aspects of behavior disorders caused by damage to the visual cortex and white matter connections."
15 Diseases Caused by HelminthicMoazami, Golnaz"This chapter considers diseases of neuro-ophthalmologic significance produced by helminths."
16 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."
17 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."
18 Rickettsiae, Rickettsial-Like Organisms, and the Diseases They ProduceVaphiades, Michael S; Miller, Neil R"Since the last edition of this text was published, advances in molecular biology have resulted in the reclassification of many organisms. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the area of the rickettsiae."
19 Tumors of the Meninges and Related Tissues: Meningiomas and SarcomasCockerham, Kimberely P; Kennerdell, John S; Maroon, Joseph C; Bejjani, Ghassan K"The meninges of the brain and spinal cord consist of three different layers: the dura mater, arachnoid (tela arachnoidea), and pia mater."
