Produktbeschreibung

Pediatric Neuroophthalmology details the diagnostic criteria, current concepts of pathogenesis, neuroradiological correlates, and clinical management of a large group of neuroophthalmic disorders that present in childhood. Surprisingly distinct from neuroophthalmic disorders afflicting adults, this set of diseases falls between the cracks of most ophthalmology training, and thus, warrants a practical, clinical guide for the practitioner in ophthalmology - the neuroophthalmologist, pediatric ophthalmologist, general ophthalmologist - as well as neurologists and for residents. The authors, leading pediatric ophthalmologists, have taken this difficult subject matter and developed an accessible, user-friendly manual with a detailed approach to the recognition, differential diagnosis, and management of pediatric neuroophthalmologic disorders.

Rezensionen

"For those with sufficient time and interest, reading the book in its entirety will prove a worthwhile and interesting achievement. However, for others, it will prove more useful as a reference for looking up specific cases or problems and as such will provide a detailed understanding of any subject within the area." Eye News

"The text contains 146 color illustrations, many of which are fundus photographs. These are uniformly excellent. As to be expected, a number of CT Scans and MRI scans are included as well. This is a remarkable book. It is a text that should be included in every Neuro-Ophthalmologist's library ... ." (Walter M. Jay, Neuro-Ophthalmology, 2017)
