Features:
-Well-organized sections on examination techniques, signs and symptoms, categories of neuro-ophthalmic disorders, and key diagnostic tests
-More than 200 full-color photographs of specific diseases for easy identification
-Detailed lists of differential diagnoses and "red flags" to prevent errors in evaluation or treatment
-In-depth discussions of optic tumors, diplopia and polyopia, Horner's Syndrome, nerve palsies, visual field defects, eye movement disorders, and more
Designed for specialists and non-specialists alike, this user-friendly guidebook will be invaluable for immediate diagnostic and management decisions, including knowing when referrals are in order.
Reviews / Votes
The chapters are well-written and contain a multitude of diagrams and tables to help explain the teaching points. This book addresses all the key topics related to neurophthalmology and is nicely divided into sections beginning with the basics of the initial ocular evaluation, and finishing with multiple chapters addressing the discoveries of the initial examination in detail. The numerous images and illustrations help the reader to understand each concept fully. Neuro-Ophthalmology: The Practical Guide, with its handsome hardbacked cover, is filled with many clinical pearls that make it a magnificient addition to anyone's library for the price.--Journal of NeurosurgeryMore details
