Neurocranial Defects with Neuro-Ophthalmic Significance

Ronald M. Minzter; Edward G. Buckley

Patients with cranial/skeletal defects often exhibit neuroophthalmic abnormalities, which may be caused by specific anomalies within the spectrum of a given condition, or by an associated malformation of the nervous system, or be secondary to mechanical forces such as hydrocephalus. This chapter reviews the ophthalmic abnormalities found in progressive hemifacial atrophy, which are primarily due to structural defects,as well as ophthalmic abnormalities in Arnold-Chiari malformations, meningomyelocele, platybasia, and the Klippel-Feil syndrome,which are related to both structural and secondary neurological mechanisms.

Management of Common Pediatric Neuro-Ophthalmology Problems

James W. McManaway; Dean J. Bonsall

The purpose of this chapter is to provide guidelines for the management of pediatric neuro-ophthalmic problems commonly seen in a general or pediatric ophthalmology practice. The most common neuro-ophthalmic entities encountered include functional visual loss, headaches, the “swollen” disc, and anisocoria. Neonatal blindness, although less common, is also discussed. Evaluation of nystagmus, paralytic strabismus, and nuclear or supranuclear eye movement disorders is discussed in other chapters. With this information, the ophthalmologist should be able to separate real from functional problems and benign from malignant disorders. This chapter is designed to be self-contained, although additional information is available in other chapters in this volume.
