Book excerpt: AN ENGAGING, CLINICALLY ORIENTED TEXT THAT SPANS THE FULL SPECTRUM OF NEUROOPHTHALMOLOGY Practical Neuroophthalmology covers the basic principles and major conditions of neuroophthalmology in a concise, user-friendly manner. Rather than merely presenting a catalog of facts, the authors enrich the text by describing how complex neuroophthalmic signs and symptoms are often a logical consequence of anatomy and pathophysiology. With its comprehensive coverage and neuroanatomic approach, Practical Neuroophthalmology is both an outstanding clinical resource and a valuable board review tool. Features Discussion of anatomy in the context of disease states--making the consequence of disease more readily understood Combined illustrations and tables present complex information in an easy-to-follow manner Original clinical case studies--optic disc photographs, visual fields, clinical course, and other data from an illustrative case are presented together to give you a visual summary of the disease Photographic surveys of disease manifestations--clinical photographs from different patients with the same disease demonstrate the full spectrum of disease presentation Tables and boxes devoted to differential diagnosis--important clinical decision-making information is synthesized and reinforced in a convenient outline form Key points summarized at the end of each chapter Suggested readings at the end of each chapter
