"This attractive 319-page multiauthored book offers a view of the field of clinical neuro-ophthalmology. ... The guide is recommended for a neuroradiology section library where a considerable volume of ophthalmologic radiology is performed." (American Journal of Neuroradiology, Vol. 29, March, 2008)
