Patient Portal: Giant Cell Arteritis | Anne S. Abel, MD | Giant cell arteritis is an inflammatory condition that can cause vision loss, double vision, fever, new persistent headaches, scalp tenderness, and jaw pain with chewing. GCA is caused by inflammation of blood vessels, primarily in the head and neck. Sometimes called "temporal arteritis," GCA frequ... | Giant cell arteritis |

Patient Portal: Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) | Devin D. Mackay, MD | Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), also called pseudotumor cerebri, is a condition in which there is high pressure in the fluid surrounding your brain, spinal cord and optic nerves. This can cause headaches and problems with vision. Although the cause(s) of the condition is not fully unders... | Idiopathic intracranial hypertension; Pseudotumor cerebri |

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. This results in muscle weakness because the muscles do not receive the signals to contract (tighten). Muscles anywhere w... | Myasthenia gravis; Ptosis; Double vision |

 |
Patient Portal: Non-Arteritic-Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy (NAION) | Arun Sundaram, MD | Non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION or NA-AION) is caused by decreased blood flow to the front part of the optic nerve (optic disc). It causes optic nerve swelling and sudden vision loss. NAION typically affects one eye, although the other eye sometimes suffers similar loss month... | Non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy; NAION; NA-AION; Optic nerve; Optic disc; Ophthalmic artery |

 |
Patient Portal: Optic Disc Drusen | Cristiano Oliveira, MD | Optic disc drusen (ODD) are abnormal deposits of benign, usually calcified material within the optic disc, which is the front part of the optic nerve that connects each eye to the brain. We do not know the exact cause of optic disc drusen. They are present in 0.3-2% of people as an isolated case or ... | Optic disc drusen; Papilledema; Pseudopapilledema |
| 158 |
 |
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 |
| 159 |
 |
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 |
| 160 |
 |
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. Some people do not experience a complete loss of the affected vision and instead describe the abnormality as "blurring" or like "looking through a veil." The vision typically returns... | Transient visual loss |

 |
Pediatric Visual Acuity Strategies: Induced Tropia Test | Anat Bachar Zipori, MD; Nasrin Najm-Tehrani, FRCS Ed (Ophth), FRCSC | Induced Tropia Test. Using a 10-20 base-down prism, this exam demonstrates equal vision in both eyes. If there is evidence of ocular misalignment, prisms can be used to neutralize the movement and thereby measure the deviation, whether it is a heterotropia or heterophoria. Prisms are placed in front... | Induced Tropia; Prism Test |

Pendular vs Jerk Nystagmus | Tony Brune, DO; Daniel R. Gold, DO | A video distinguishing pendular and jerk nystagmus. | Nystagmus; Pendular Nystagmus; Jerk Nystagmus |

 |
Periodic Alternating Nystagmus | Raed Behbehani, MD | PAN is a nystagamus characterized by a cycle of uniderectional jerk nystagamus for 60-90 sec , a pause for 10-20 sec and a a cycle of a jerk nystagmus in the opposite direction for 60-90 sec. It is found in brain stem and cerebellar conditions as well as ocular albinism ( as in this patient). | Periodic Alternating Nystagmus |

Pupillary Block | Sujata Dalal; James Brian Davis; Amanda Dean Henderson | Pupillary block occurs when the pupillary margin of the iris contacts the anterior surface of the lens. This creates a barrier for the outflow of aqueous humor from the posterior chamber to the anterior chamber and resultant increased pressure in the posterior chamber. This pressure can cause the ir... | Angle-Closure Glaucoma; Iris Bombe; Narrow Angle; Pupillary Block |
