1 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."
2 Tumors of the Pituitary GlandGittinger Jr., John W"Tumors of the pituitary gland are so important from a neuro-ophthalmologic standpoint that they are considered in a separate chapter."
3 Tumors of Neuroectodermal OriginHedges III, Thomas R"Neuroectodermal tumors arise from cells derived from the primitive neuroectoderm (1) including neuroglial cells, parenchymal cells of the pineal gland, neurons, and primitive embryonal cells of the brain and retina."
4 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."
5 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."
6 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)."
7 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."
8 Section 1: The Visual Sensory SystemNancy J. Newman, MD, Emory Eye CenterAn overview of Section 1.
9 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.
10 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.
11 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."
12 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.
13 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."
14 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."
15 Tumors Derived from Hematopoietic Cells and TissueJohn Kerrison, MD, Retina Consultants of Charleston"Hematopoiesis is the orderly process of blood cell proliferation and maturation."
16 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."
17 Vascular Malformations and Tumors of Blood VesselsLee, AndrewThis chapter describes vascular formations and blood vessel tumors.
18 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."
19 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."
20 Traumatic Optic NeuropathiesKenneth D Steinsapir, MD; Robert A. Goldberg, MD, UCLATraumatic optic nerve injuries are calssically divided into direct and indirect injuries.
21 Ischemic Optic NeuropathyAnthony C. Arnold, MD, UCLA"Ischemic syndromes of the optic nerve (ischemic optic neuropathy [ION]) are classified according to (a) the location of the ischemic damage of the nerve and (b) the etiologic factor, if known, for the ischemia."
22 Principles and Techniques of the Examination of the Visual Sensory SystemMichael 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."
23 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...
24 Diseases Caused by HelminthicMoazami, Golnaz"This chapter considers diseases of neuro-ophthalmologic significance produced by helminths."
25 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)."
