This exciting new book is a practical, hands on overview of neuro-ophthalmology. It provides a strong mix of basic science, neuropathology and clinical practicality with excellent full colour illustrations used throughout with each chapter written by an international authority in the field. The fifteen sections include coverage of the history of the subject, correlative anatomy, history and examination, special diagnostic tests, neuropathology, neuro-ophthalmic signs, molecular biology, optic neuritis, headache, cortical visual dysfunction and special problems in paediatric neuro-ophthalmology.
