Neuro-ophthalmology [Hardcover - Used]

CONDITION - USED - Pages can include limited notes and highlighting, and the copy can include "From the library of" labels or previous owner inscriptions. Accessories such as CD, codes, toys, may not be included. While there are a number of neuro-ophthalmic texts written specifically for neuro-ophthalmologists, few resources exist to guide other clinicians in the initial evaluation of such patients. This book fills the gap; providing a simple, practical guide to the management of patients with disorders of the eye and brain, which can be used without previous neuro-ophthalmic expertise. The text is divided into four sections. The first section provides instruction on key components of the neuro-ophthalmic examination. The second section contains a chapter for each of the neuro-ophthalmic presenting symptoms and signs. In each chapter the reader is guided through the initial diagnostic steps with a series of clinical questions to be answered, based on the patient's history or examination. Responses to these questions lead to direct reference to the appropriate diagnosis-specific chapter in the third section of the book. In this third group of chapters the authors go into detail about the major categories of neuro-ophthalmic disorders, with suggestions for further management. The fourth section serves as a "how to do it" guide for the major diagnostic tests performed or ordered for neuro-ophthalmic patients, as well as a guide to handling neuro-ophthalmic emergencies and appropriate billing.
