Abstract

With the growth of basic science studies, clinical research and updated diagnostic and imaging modalities, the subspecialty of neuro-ophthalmology has continued to evolve. Clinical updates include novel treatment approaches, new disease entities and improved understanding of the underlying pathophysiology for many well-known neuro-ophthalmic diagnoses. This chapter will review these updates while focusing on clinical aspects in an effort to provide clinicians with knowledge that can be applied to everyday practice.
