Neuro-Ophthalmology Illustrated, 3rd Edition

Abstract

“Third time’s the charm!” That is the first line in Drs. Biousse and Newman’s preface to the third edition of Neuro-Ophthalmology Illustrated and I couldn’t agree more. These two world-renowned neuro-ophthalmologists have ushered this important work into the 21st century. This third edition will undoubtably secure its position as the “go to” reference for neurologists, ophthalmologists and physicians-in-training when challenged with a patient who has a neuro-ophthalmological disorder. Each chapter guides you through the steps in evaluating the patient’s symptoms using an abundance of high-quality illustrations, tables, charts and flowsheets. In addition, there is an invaluable compendium of 69 videos that can be rapidly accessed using a “QCode” on your smart phone. For example, there are fifteen videos just devoted to the evaluation of nystagmus! Neuro-Ophthalmology Illustrated has 21 chapters including the neuro-ophthalmological examination, optic neuropathies, diplopia, nystagmus, disorders of the eyelids and more. In addition, there is a highly detailed, fourteen page index which will quickly direct you to the information you seek. Unfortunately, we can’t all have Drs. Biousse and Newman at our side in the clinic to share their “pearls.” So, when you’re presented with a patient who has a challenging neuro-ophthalmological symptom, NeuroOphthalmology Illustrated is the next best thing.
