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."

5 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 ...

13 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."
14 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."

16 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."

22 Peripheral Demyelinating and Axonal DisordersDavid I. Kaufman, DO, Chair, Neurology & Ophthalmology, Michigan State University"Guillain-Barre´ syndrome (GBS) until recently had been viewed as a single disorder with variations. It is now clear from electrophysiologic, pathologic, and immunologic evidence that it actually is a group of different syndromes with several distinctive subtypes (1)."
23 Spirochetal DiseasesLesser, 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)."
