1 Section 1: The Visual Sensory SystemNancy J. Newman, MD, Emory Eye CenterAn overview of Section 1.
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 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.
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 Anatomy and Physiology of Ocular Motor SystemsJames A. Sharpe, MD, FRCP(C) (1941-2013); Agnes Wong, MD, PhD, FRCSC, University of Toronto"In this chapter we describe physiologic processes and anatomic bases for the control of eye movements."
6 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."
7 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."
8 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."
9 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."
10 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."
11 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."
12 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.
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 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."
15 IndexIndex to Walsh and Hoyt's Clinical Neuro-Ophthalmology, 6th Edition.
16 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."
17 Lesions Produced by Infections and Inflammations of the Central Nervous SystemBarrett J. Katz, MD, MBA"The central nervous system (CNS) is anatomically protected from invasion by most organisms by structures such as bone, fibrous membranes, and vascular tight junctions (1-3). Nevertheless, once organisms gain entry to the CNS, they proliferate more easily than almost anywhere else in the body."
18 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."
19 Degenerative and Metabolic Diseases in AdultsParashkev Nachev, PhD, MRCP(UK), University College London; Christopher Kennard, PhD, FRCP, FMed Sci, University of OxfordThis chapter describes degenerative and metabolic diseases in adults.
20 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."
21 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."
22 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 ...
23 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."
24 Vascular Malformations and Tumors of Blood VesselsLee, AndrewThis chapter describes vascular formations and blood vessel tumors.
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)."
