The book provides a detailed description of the structure and functioning of the optic nerve and attempts at clarifying how anomalies in its development are related with tumor development. The book surveys the most recent diagnostic techniques, such as spectral domain optical coherence tomography, and highlights how these techniques can be employed to evaluate optic nerve layers as well as lesions compressing the visual pathway. Practical references to optic nerve drusen and the changes in the optic nerve due to diabetic retinopathy are also presented. The book is written in a concise fashion and aims at being a major reference to a broad audience, including students, ophthalmologist consultants, neurologists, researchers, and surgeons concerned with optic nerve diseases. 606 $aOptic nerve 610 $aLife Sciences 610 $aNeuroscience 610 $aNeurobiology 615 0$aOptic nerve. 676 $a599.01823 702 $aFerreri$b Felicia M. 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910317763703321 996 $aOptic Nerve$91982187 997 $aUNINA
