Neuro-ophthalmology is a merged subspecialty of neurology and ophthalmology dealing with complex multisystem diseases presenting with visual manifestations. This book helps the reader in recognizing, approaching, and managing such a patient. It covers the afferent and efferent systems, pupillary disorders, and Radiology of neuro-ophthalmic conditions. It features individual symptomatology with salient points, their management and differential diagnosis. It has case scenarios, key points, and algorithms along with self-assessment MCQ questions. Its simplified, step wise approach will be a useful resource for neurologists, ophthalmologists, physicians, pediatricians, and optometrists.
Key Features
• Features a simplified and stepwise clinical approach to neuro-ophthalmic disorders.
• Includes case studies and clinical pearls along with self-assessment sections.
• Covers to the point and crisp analysis of common complaints faced in neuro-ophthalmology.

Biography
Dr Vivek Lal MD (Medicine), DM (Neurology), FIAN, FRCP (Edin) studied medicine and did his training in Neurology at the prestigious Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER) Chandigarh, India. He is currently Professor and Head of the department of Neurology at PGIMER, Chandigarh, India. He also served as Dean of Baba Farid University of Health Sciences (BFUHS), Punjab, India. He is a member of editorial team of Neuro-Ophthalmology, Annals of Indian Academy of Neurology and Indian edition of European journal of Neurology. He is a fellow of Royal College of Physicians (FRCP), Edinburgh and Fellow Indian academy of Neurology (FIAN). He is also the chairman of Neuro-Ophthalmology subsection of the Indian Academy of Neurology.
His major areas of interest are Neuro-Ophthalmology, Neuroimmunology and Headache. He has been instrumental in introducing the concept of systematic Neuro-Ophthalmology in India. He runs a Neuro-Ophthalmology sub-specialty clinic catering to the patients from all over India.
This book is an excellent resource for healthcare professionals who treat neurophthalmological conditions. In a complex field that has been lacking pragmatic resources, this title stands out as it offers up-to-date information
using a practical approach. While other books are available in the field, this particular title distinguishes itself through its currency and emphasis on practicality.-- Sridhara S Yaddanapudi, MD, Thomas Jefferson University
