Patient Portal: Microvascular Cranial Nerve Palsy | Meagan Seay, DO | A nerve palsy is an impairment in the function of a nerve, which results in a decrease in function of the corresponding muscles controlled by that nerve. In microvascular cranial nerve palsy, something affects the blood supply to one of the cranial nerves, causing it not to work. This is usually the... | Nerve palsy; Microvascular cranial nerve palsy; Cranial nerve 3; CN3; Oculomotor nerve; Cranial nerve 4; CN4; Trochlear nerve; Cranial nerve 6; CN6; Abducens nerve |

Patient Portal: Myasthenia Gravis | Aroucha Vickers, DO | Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disease in which the body's immune system creates antibodies (proteins that normally protect us) that may attack receptors on your muscles.

 |
Patient Portal: Optic Neuritis | Anthony Brune, DO | Optic neuritis is inflammation of the optic nerve. In optic neuritis, the covering around the fibers of the optic nerve (myelin) is damaged by inflammation (demyelination), which typically results in blurred or dark vision. | Optic neuritis; Myelin; Demyelination |

 |
Patient Portal: Transient Vision Loss | Anthony Brune, DO | Transient visual loss is the term used to describe loss of part or all of the vision in one or both eyes temporarily.

The vision typically returns... | Transient visual loss |

 |
Patient Portal: Anisocoria | Nagham Al-Zubidi, MD | Anisocoria is a medical term for unequal pupil size. Normally our pupils are relatively the same size. While small differences in pupil size are normal and can even come and go (physiologic anisocoria), constant and significant differences in pupil sizes may be a sign of damage to the brain or the n... | Anisocoria; Horner Syndrome; 3rd Cranial Nerve Palsy; Adie Tonic Pupil |

 |
Patient Portal: Pituitary Adenoma | Nagham Al-Zubidi, MD | The pituitary gland is a pea-sized gland that sits underneath the base of the brain. It produces and releases many hormones. These hormones control your metabolism, stress level, growth, ovulation and menstruation in women, sperm and testosterone production in men, milk production, and urine product... | Pituitary Adenoma; Pituitary Tumor |

Retinal Venous Occlusive Disease | Ali Alkhabbaz; James Brian Davis; Amanda Dean Henderson | Retinal venous occlusion (RVO) includes central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO), hemi-central retinal vein occlusion (HCRVO), and branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO). The most important risk factor for RVO is hypertension, but other risk systemic factors include advanced age and cardiovascular diseas... | Branch Retinal Vein; BRVO; Central Retinal Vein; CRVO; HCRVO; Retinal Venous Occlusion |
