Neuro-ophthalmology (Neurologic Clinics) (2010) by ANDREW G. LEE, MD PDF

Description

Neuro-ophthalmology is a subspecialty of neurology and ophthalmology that bridges the gap between eye and brain. This issue of Neurologic Clinics describes the key features and latest information on topics in neuro-ophthalmology of interest to prac- ticing neurologists and, in particular, highlights areas for which referral might be reasonable to neuro-ophthalmologists. A quick review of the table of contents for this issue illustrates the depth and breadth of the neurologic topics that fall within neuro-ophthalmology. These include multiple sclerosis, orbital diseases, optic nerve disorders, vascular disorders, neuro- ophthalmic imaging, and ocular motility deficits. We hope that the readers enjoy this issue and are able to recognize, triage, manage, or refer these specific neuro- ophthalmic disorders better. The editors wish to express gratitude to the article authors for their interesting, educational, and valuable contributions and special thanks also to Don Mumford for his hard work and his guidance throughout the preparation of this issue. Dr Lee wishes to acknowledge and thank his ever-patient wife, Hilary A. Beaver, MD, for tolerating yet another academic project and his parents, Rosalind Lee, MD, and Alberto C. Lee, MD, for teaching the values of precision, accuracy, and brevity in medical writing. Dr Brazis wishes to thank his wife, Elizabeth, for her encouragement and support. Andrew G. Lee, MD
