(BQ) Part 2 book “General ophthalmology” has contents: Neuro-Ophthalmology, ocular disorders associated with systemic diseases, immunologic diseases of the eye, special subjects of pediatric interest, ophthalmic genetics, ophthalmic trauma, ophthalmic therapeutics, vision rehabilitation, and other contents. | 14 Neuro-Ophthalmology Paul Riordan-Eva, FRCOphth The retinas and anterior visual pathways (optic nerves, optic chiasm, and optic tracts) (Figures 14–1 and 14–2) are an integral part of the brain, providing a substantial proportion of its total sensory input. The pattern of visual field loss indicates the site of damage in the visual pathway (Figures 14–3 to 14–5). Eye movement disorders may be due to disease of cranial nerves III, IV, or VI, or a more central lesion. Cranial nerves V and VII are also intimately associated with ocular function. 626 Figure 14–3. Visual field defects due to various lesions of the optic pathways. 627 Figure 14–4. Occipital lobe abscess. Top: Automated perimetry and tangent screen examination showing homonymous, congruous, paracentral scotoma in right upper visual fields. Bottom: Parasagittal magnetic resonance imaging showing lesion involving left inferior calcarine cortex.
