Controversies in Neuro-ophthalmology

A Case Based Debate

About the book

Neuro-ophthalmology, like in any field of medicine, has many areas where controversy exists in diagnosis and treatment. This book provides a comprehensive overview on the clinical presentation, diagnosis and management of neuro-ophthalmic disorders and specifically addresses areas of controversy.

Each chapter opens with a case to illustrate a pertinent controversy and poses a clinical question; these controversies are then discussed by world leading experts to provide a balanced viewpoint. Controversies in Neuro-ophthalmology is essential reading for neuro-ophthalmologists, ophthalmologists and neurologists.
