Although there are numerous handbooks and major texts describing all the common disorders of neuro-ophthalmology, OPTIC NERVE DISORDERS provides a practical reference book focusing only on common optic nerve disorders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is organized by optic nerve diagnoses commonly encountered in a neuro-ophthalmologic practice. It is written in a clear, concise style for quick, easy reference in the clinic. The organization of each chapter includes:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- epidemiology;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- diagnosis by clinical signs and symptoms and by electrophysiologic, ocular and neuroimaging techniques;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- pathophysiology;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- management by conventional treatments ; experimental\/newer medications under consideration;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- prognosis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUpdated information on diagnostic techniques, including OCT and mfVEP, and genetic testing for hereditary optic neuropathies are discussed. New data from clinical studies, such as beta-interferons for optic neuritis, are presented for the management of each disorder. Diagnosis of neuro-ophthalmologic disorders with newer neuroimaging techniques, such as PET, SPECT, and diffusion-weighted imaging are fully explained. New data from clinical studies (beta-interferons for optic neuritis, for instance) will be presented for the management of each disorder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47053223526640,"sku":"9781441915870","price":69.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781441915870_p0.jpg?v=1763797465","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781441915870","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
