Clinical Methods of Neuro-Ophthalmologic Examination
About this book
Clinical Methods of Neuro-Ophthalmologic Examination presents the clinical methods of ophthalmologic examination that may be helpful in neurologic differential diagnosis. Neuro-ophthalmologic examination has developed in two directions: the more precise methods and the unrefined yet fairly exact methods, such as diagnostic measurement by means of a simple ruler. This book is based on lectures delivered by the author to neurologists and ophthalmologists. This book is composed of 13 chapters and begins with a presentation of anatomic details that are important for the understanding of the various signs and symptoms. The next chapters examine the development of simple perimetry into quantitative perimetry and angio-scotometry, as well as the pathology of the optic nerve. Considerable chapters are devoted to intensive discussions on group of diseases that affect in a parallel way the central nervous system and the eye, such as chiasmal and retrochiasmal lesions, nystagmus, symmetrical eye movement disturbance, palpebral fissure, hemicrania. The final chapter outlines a routine neuro-ophthalmological examination. This book is directed toward neurologists and ophthalmologists.
