title: Management of ophthalmic complications in surgery of the brain stem.
abstract: This article reviews assessment and rehabilitation of abnormalities of the afferent and efferent visual system that may follow surgery of the brain stem. Attention is drawn to newer techniques of assessment (contrast sensitivities and binocular visual fields) and of management (low vision aids, Fresnel prisms, botulinum toxin injections, and adjustable suture strabismus surgery).
