Clinical Neuro-Ophthalmology:A Practical Guide

Clinical Neuro-Ophthalmology is a challenge for residents and
experienced clinicians alike. This book covers all relevant
techniques of diagnosis as well as interpretations of clinical signs.
All information is highly structured, highlighting ‘definition’,
‘note’ and ‘pearl’, so that it can also be used by the physician
during the patient encounter. The included flow chart posters remind
the physician of the most important information.
Further, the accompanying animated CD contains:
all of the text passages in a searchable format
interactive case demonstrations
animated sequences of clinical signs and
video recordings of clinical examinations.
This unique and practical guide offers invaluable and practical
advice for physicians treating patients with neuro-ophthalmic
problems.
