Description

Neuro-ophthalmological Pain: Diagnosis and Treatment is written to address the many problems faced by patients with ocular pain of neurological origin. These patients are often incorrectly referred to ophthalmologists and otolaryngologists to diagnose eye problems or sinus disease, respectively. While these ailments are neurological in nature, the average time between the onset of pain and a visit to a neurologist is 13 years. By this point, many patients have received at least one wrong diagnosis. Additionally, some patients have undergone several unnecessary investigative tests, received improper or flawed treatment, and continued to suffer. Neuro-ophthalmological Pain: Diagnosis and Treatment contains information on a multitude of often-overlooked ailments in a single, comprehensive volume, for use by the neurologist as well as for all practitioners looking to guide their patients toward appropriate care. It will provide potentially life-changing information for those with ocular pain with decreased vision, ocular pain with ophthalmoplegia or ophthalmoparesis, ocular pain with papilledema, ocular pain with autonomic manifestations, and ocular pain that has overlap with ocular disorders. Neuro-ophthalmological Pain: Diagnosis and Treatment is a powerful tool in helping physicians establish correct diagnoses, so that they may either provide proper treatment or refer their patients to the correct medical specialists.• Addresses the diagnosis and treatment of ocular pain of neurological origin• Describes many likely-unfamiliar types of ocular pain• Presents a new classification system for ocular pain, facilitating proper diagnosis
