Purvin, Aki Kawasaki1st ed.Cambridge, UK ;New York Cambridge University Pressc20091 online resource (xi, 221 pages) digital, PDF file(s)Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015).0-521-71326-9 Includes bibliographical references and index.When ocular disease is mistaken for neurologic disease -- When orbital disease is mistaken for neurologic disease -- Mistaking congenital anomalies for acquired disease -- Radiographic errors -- Incidental findings (seeing but not believing) -- Failure of pattern recognition -- Clinical findings that are subtle -- Misinterpretation of visual fields -- Neuro-ophthalmic look-alikes -- Over-reliance on negative test results -- Over-ordering tests -- Management misadventures.Using real-life cases describing patients with neuro-ophthalmic disorders, this book is a case-based teaching tool that bridges the gap between textbook information and everyday clinical practice. Each case illustrates a particular area of frequent diagnostic confusion, and highlights the specific clinical features that should point to the correct diagnosis. Focusing on errors in this way serves as motivation to the clinician to master the material so that 'pitfalls' can be avoided. The level of the case discussions assumes that the reader has some familiarity with basic neuroanatomy, physiology and disease process but each case discussion furnishes a brief review of such information, always with an emphasis on those features that are clinically relevant. The case-histories are succinct and amply illustrated, including motility and fundus photographs, visual fields and radiographic studies. The narrative is moved along with questions to the reader, making it easy to follow the logic of the cases.NeuroophthalmologyCase studiesEyeNeuroophthalmologyEye.617.7/32Purvin Valerie A.1948-1639950Kawasaki Aki1755573MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910816407403321Common neuro-ophthalmic pitfalls4192419UNINA
