Tumors of the Pituitary Gland | Gittinger Jr., John W | "Tumors of the pituitary gland are so important from a neuro-ophthalmologic standpoint that they are considered in a separate chapter." |

Miscellaneous Diseases of Presumed Infectious Etiology | Jacqueline 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." |

Neuro-Ophthalmologic Manifestations of Nonorganic Disease | Neil 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... |

Hereditary Optic Neuropathies | Nancy 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)." |
5 |
|
Myopathies Affecting the Extraocular Muscles | Paul 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." |

Complications of Cancer Therapy | Mark 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." |

|
Phacomatoses | John 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... |

Principles and Techniques of the Examination of the Visual Sensory System | Michael 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." |

|
Viruses (Except Retroviruses) and Viral Diseases - Part 1 | Paul W. Brazis, MD, Mayo Clinic; Neil R Miller, M.D., Professor of Ophthalmology, Johns Hopkins University | "Viruses are important causes not only of human systemic disease but also of neurologic and visual disease. It is not the purpose of this chapter to consider all known viruses that produce human disease or to consider all diseases produced by those viruses. Instead, we will restrict this chapter to ... |

|
Tumors of Cranial and Peripheral Nerves | Chesnutt, 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." |

|
Toxic and Deficiency Optic Neuropathies | Paul 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." |

Bacteria and Bacterial Diseases | Prem S Subramanian, MD, PhD, Professor of Ophthalmology, Neurology, and Neurosurgery, University of Colorado | This chapter describes various bacteria and bacterial diseases. |

|
Nuclear and Infranuclear Ocular Motility Disorders | Jane 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." |
16 |
|
Retroviruses and Retroviral Diseases | Lynn K. Gordon, MD, UCLA | "The retroviridae family encompasses a group of viruses in which the replicative life cycle requires reverse transcription of the viral ribonucleic acid (RNA) genome into doublestranded deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) (1)." |
17 |
|
Sarcoidosis | Steven R. Hamilton, MD | "Sarcoidosis is a systemic disorder of unknown etiology that has significant ocular, neurologic, and neuro-ophthalmologic manifestations." |
18 |
|
Spirochetal Diseases | Lesser, 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)." |

Tumors Derived from Hematopoietic Cells and Tissue | John Kerrison, MD, Retina Consultants of Charleston | "Hematopoiesis is the orderly process of blood cell proliferation and maturation." |
