Praise for this book:

"[Five stars] Provid[es] succinct and easy to understand information
with excellent illustrations...the wealth of color illustrations [are]
invaluable to students learning about these disorders." - Doody's Review


With nearly 900 illustrations and the combined 40-year experience of
the authors, Neuro-Ophthalmology
Illustrated serves as an atlas and a source of concise clinical
information on the entire field. From anatomy and pathophysiology to
diagnosis and management, the book provides a unique approach to
thinking about, assessing, and treating neuro-ophthalmic disorders. It
offers a "how-to" on performing the essential examination, and covers
disorders of the visual afferent system, the pupil, ocular motor
efferent systems, and the orbit and lid. The authors also point out the
important neuro-ophthalmologic manifestations associated with common
neurologic and systemic disorders.


Highlights:


  • Offers a basic introduction to anatomy, physiology, and
    examination of the eye for neurology students

  • Teaches brain anatomy and the fundamentals of neuro-imaging to
    ophthalmologists

  • Provides the coherent approach of two master teachers in the
    field

  • Begins each chapter with a quick outline of contents, and
    concludes with a comprehensive index

  • Features a handy examination chart and near card for easy
    reference


A portable atlas, manual, and study guide in one, Neuro-Ophthalmology Illustrated is
perfect for residents preparing for board examinations in
ophthalmology, neurology and neurosurgery. Practitioners and
instructors of neuro-ophthalmology will also find this highly visual
pocketbook a useful reference in their practice and classroom.
