Oftalmologia

In Eye Movement Disorders in Clinical Practice, a leading expert with over thirty years of teaching experience in neurology and neuro-ophthalmology offers comprehensive instruction on the diagnosis and treatment of all varieties of eye movement disorders. This important new text reflects the importance of correlating clinical signs of disorders in the oculomotor system with their neuroanatomic and neurophysiologic architecture. With its focus on signs and symptoms, the book advances lesion localization of eye movement disorders as the central clinical concern. The reader is also presented with a fresh review of bedside examination techniques in the ER, ICU, and walk-in clinic; productive ways of taking a clinical history; sign interpretation; source lesion localization; and, where appropriate, therapy. Unlike most of the titles on eye movement disorders, this book's chapters are arranged according to objective signs - like ptosis, neuromuscular syndromes, dizziness, vertigo, and syndromes of the medulla - rather than disease entities. This emphasis on the topographic analysis of symptoms and signs is contrary to the prevailing clinical approach in which responsibility for therapy typically drives the clinician to arrive at an etiological diagnosis as rapidly as possible. At risk in this process is nothing less than the art of clinical medicine. One of the aims of this book is to reverse this process, and move clinicians back to the observation and interpretation of signs. The text features over 100 clinical cases, each one challenging the reader to determine the neuroanatomical location of the patient's lesion. This exercise provides the anatomical guidance needed to make critical diagnostic and management decisions in patients who often present with abnormal eye movements. Dynamic and intellectually stimulating, Eye Movement Disorders in Clinical Practice is essential for any reader wanting to better understand eye movement disorders.

Nell’era dell’informazione elettronica istantanea, un testo di più autori in cui sono state coinvolte le migliori menti nel campo, scritto e riscritto attraverso un laborioso e meticoloso processo di revisione, e presentato come una fonte completa e autorevole a cui poter ricorrere ripetutamente, è altamente desiderabile come documento stampato, che codifica in un’unica fonte di consultazione lo stato attuale della nostra conoscenza e che, soprattutto, garantisce che le informazioni riportate siano controllate e convalidate da esperti della materia.L’esercizio della nostra sottospecializzazione in oftalmologia è più diversificato di quanto lo sia mai stato prima. Il proliferare di nuove procedure chirurgiche indirizzate a specifiche anomalie corneali, una varietà di nuove possibilità di esami diagnostici e un sensazionale allargamento della nostra comprensione della fisiopatologia della cornea e della superficie oculare hanno rivoluzionato ciò che sappiamo della straordinaria struttura attraverso la quale vediamo il mondo. Ci auguriamo che questo trattato continuerà a servire da utile strumento a tutti gli studenti e ai professionisti nel nostro campo.
