Both patients presented with progressive loss of visual acuity, as a result of bilateral optic nerve atrophy, as well as unsteadiness, ataxic gait and hearing loss. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain and spine, including gradient echo (GRE) T2-weighted acquisitions, revealed thin optic nerves and strong hypointensity with susceptibility artefacts corresponding to haemosiderin deposits within the meningeal layers of the spine, the infra- and supratentorial spaces of the brain and the peri-optic sheaths in both patients. The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was macroscopically haemorrhagic in one patient, who underwent a dynamic myelography, which failed to reveal any trans-dural CSF leakage. Neuro-ophthalmological symptoms due to SS, such as visual acuity loss, have been scarcely reported. MRI using GRE T2-weighted sequences highlighting the presence of haemosiderin deposits plays a key role in the diagnosis of this condition. Treatment should aim at preventing haemosiderin deposition by treating the cause of the subarachnoid bleeding.","PeriodicalId":19257,"journal":{"name":"Neuro-Ophthalmology","volume":"20 1","pages":"171 - 177"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79240403","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While it continues to serve as a traditional reliable source for trainees and practising ophthalmologists to understand strabismus patterns and deviations, it lacks some of the current methodology and clinical experiential details for complex strabismus. Dr Ludwig’s Strabismus Surgery book is a refreshing unique manual that addresses strabismus patterns with regards to the underlying mechanisms. This unconventional organisation includes 36 chapters in which strabismus topics are addressed by clinical experts with relevant clinical pearls, representative cases, and overall editor comments. In addition, a clear strength of this book is that these well-written chapters are supplemented by 636 germane illustrations, and 91 effective strabismus videos. In particular, the strabismus diagnosis and surgical treatment section includes excellent and distinctive chapters on collagen and healing, injection of eye muscles to treat Strabismus, and Strabismus related to central nervous system disorders (Duane’s syndrome, nystagmus surgery, disassociated vertical deviations and cranial nerve palsies). For the surgeon’s appetite, the following chapters of advanced techniques include pulley surgeries, injection techniques, adjustable sutures/hang-back suture techniques, miniprocedures/compartmental surgery for small angle strabismus, and transpositions are quite satiating. Dr Ludwig’s book has a comprehensive approach to strabismus surgery and discussion in terms of surgical decision making that not only caters to trainees in terms of resident and paediatric ophthalmology fellows, but addresses issues that veteran strabismus surgeons would find applicable, especially the botulinum toxin and traumatic strabismus sections. After reviewing the book, I had my paediatric ophthalmology fellow look at the book and who favourably noted that this book would be “great for paediatric ophthalmology fellows”. While the clear strength of this book is the involvement of numerous clinical experts, there are several presented topics that are controversial, and as editor, Dr Ludwig admirably balances her comments with these diverse points of views. Overall, this is an excellent strabismus surgery book with up-to-date illustrations and videos, that will prove useful to any future and current strabismus surgeons.","PeriodicalId":19257,"journal":{"name":"Neuro-Ophthalmology","volume":"26 1","pages":"207 - 207"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80423240","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Clinical Characteristics of Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension in Patients Over 50 Years of Age: A multicenter clinical cohort study. Am Journal Ophthalmol. 2021;224: 96–101. This multicenter study analysed the clinical characteristics of 65 patients over the age of 50 years (median age 54 years) with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) and compared these to a control group of patients with IIH who were under the age of 50 years (median age 30 years). There were several significant characteristics that distinguish the two groups including sex distribution, symptoms, cerebrospinal fluid pressure, comorbidities, and outcomes. The older age group showed a lower preponderance of females (78.5% vs. 92.3%). In regards to symptoms the older group of patients had fewer headaches (50.8% vs. 80%). However, the incidence of other symptoms such as pulse-synchronous tinnitus, vision changes, transient visual obscurations, and diplopia were similar in both cohorts. The older age group had a higher rate of comorbidities (hypertension, diabetes, and thyroid disease) but there was no difference between the groups in the rates of sleep apnoea, anaemia, or polycystic ovarian syndrome. Older patients were less likely to be on cycline-type antibiotics (0% vs. 10.8%). Interestingly, an older age was not found to be associated with a worse outcome as determined by mean deviation on perimetry or need for surgical intervention. David A.

JAMA Neurol. 2021;78(6):741–746. doi:10.1001/jamaneurol.2021.0912 In the recent decade, neuroinflammatory or demyelinating diseases such as neuromyelitis optica (NMO) and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG)IgG1 associated disorder (MOGAD) had gained more attention from neurologists and neuroophthalmologists with an increased popularity and acceptance in early testing of related antibodies. The change in ordering practice is understandable given the distinct nature and different managements required for these disorders. However, false-positive results can occur and it might be about time to evaluate the positive predictive value (PPV) of these tests in the real world.
