1 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."
2 Anatomy and Physiology of the Cerebrovascular SystemRobert A. Egan, MD, Providence Willamette Falls Medical CenterIn this chapter, the anatomy and physiology of the Cerebrovascular System is discussed.
3 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."
4 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."
5 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)."
6 The Trigeminal Nerve and Its Central ConnectionsGrant T. Liu, MD. Professor of Neurology, University of Pennsylvania"Because the three divisions of the trigeminal nerve run in close proximity to cranial nerves II, III, IV, and VI, sensory dysfunction in the face may be a symptom in neuro-ophthalmic patients with vision loss and eye movement disorders."
7 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...
8 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."
9 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.
10 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."
11 Congenital Anomalies of the Optic DiscMichael C. Brodsky, MD"Certain general principles are particularly useful in the evaluation and management of patients with anomalous optic discs."
12 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."
13 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."
14 Carotid-Cavernous Sinus FistulasNeil R Miller, M.D., Professor of Ophthalmology, Johns Hopkins University"A carotid-cavernous sinus fistula (CCF) is an abnormal communication between the cavernous sinus and the carotid arterial system."
15 Fungi and Mycotic DiseasesJoel M. Weinstein, MD"Opportunistic fungal infections are common and continue to increase in frequency and severity as a consequence of the use of immunosuppressive therapy after solid-organ transplantation and for a variety of diseases, particularly cancer, and because of the increasing prevalence of the acquired immun...
16 Supranuclear and Internuclear Ocular Motility DisordersZee, David S; Newman-Toker David"In this chapter, we survey clinicopathologic correlations for supranuclear ocular motor disorders."
17 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.
18 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)."
19 Mycoplasmal DiseasesBhatti, M Tarik"Mollicutes (trivial name, mycoplasmas) are the smallest free-living, replicating organisms known to humans, measuring 150 to 250 nm in diameter with a genome size ranging from 577 kilobase pairs (kbp) to 2200 kbp (compared with Escherichia coli, which has a diameter of 1000 nm and a genome size of ...
20 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."
21 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."
22 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)."
23 Tumors Derived from Hematopoietic Cells and TissueJohn Kerrison, MD, Retina Consultants of Charleston"Hematopoiesis is the orderly process of blood cell proliferation and maturation."
24 Viruses (Except Retroviruses) and Viral Diseases - Part 1Paul 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 ...
