Case studies in neuro-ophthalmology for the neurologist.
In summary, neurologists should be aware of emergent neuro-ophthalmic conditions: (1) temporal arteritis (GCA), (2) IIH, (3) intracranial shunt malfunction, (4) pituitary apoplexy, and (5) pupil-involved TNP. Earlier recognition and treatment of these disorders makes a difference in final out-come. Appropriate evaluation and management may be vision or life saving.
