Topical Diagnosis of Chiasmal and Retrochiasmal Disorders | Leonard 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." |

Viruses (Except Retroviruses) and Viral Diseases - Part 2 | 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 ... |

Topical Diagnosis of Tumors | Nancy 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." |

Fungi and Mycotic Diseases | Joel 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... |

Anatomy and Physiology of the Cerebrovascular System | Robert A. Egan, MD, Providence Willamette Falls Medical Center | In this chapter, the anatomy and physiology of the Cerebrovascular System is discussed. |

|
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)." |

|
Congenital Anomalies of the Optic Disc | Michael C. Brodsky, MD | "Certain general principles are particularly useful in the evaluation and management of patients with anomalous optic discs." |
9 |
|
Embryology, Anatomy, and Physiology of the Afferent Visual Pathway | Joseph 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." |

|
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." |
11 |
|
Traumatic Optic Neuropathies | Kenneth D Steinsapir, MD; Robert A. Goldberg, MD, UCLA | Traumatic optic nerve injuries are calssically divided into direct and indirect injuries. |

|
Anatomy and Physiology of the Autonomic Nervous System | Randy 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." |

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." |

|
Papilledema | Deborah 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)." |

Tumors of Maldevelopmental Origin and Related Lesions | Karl C. Golnik, MD, Departments of Ophthalmology, Neurology & Neurosurgery, University of Cincinnati & The Cincinnati Eye Institute | "Some intracranial lesions result from abnormal development during embryogenesis." |
19 |
|
Ischemic Optic Neuropathy | Anthony 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." |
