Neuro-Ophthalmology Annual Review.

The aim of this study was to update the practicing ophthalmologist on the English-language neuro-ophthalmology literature from the prior year. This study is a review of English-language literature from August 1, 2012, to August 1, 2013. The authors searched PubMed articles published from August 1, 2012, to August 1, 2013, limited to English-language publications including original articles, review articles, and case reports and excluding letters to the editor, unpublished work, and abstracts. We researched the following topics: pupillary abnormalities, eye movement dysfunction, neuromuscular diseases, optic neuropathies, optic neuritis and demyelinating disease including multiple sclerosis, lesions of the chiasm and posterior primary visual pathways, elevated intracranial pressure, tumors and aneurysms affecting the visual pathways, vascular diseases, higher visual functions, and neuroimaging advances. We intend to share clinically relevant literature of the past year with the practicing ophthalmologist. We aimed to highlight remarkable and interesting literature rather than exhaustively including all new neuro-ophthalmological publications of the year. We reviewed literature in the past year with a focus on relevance and novelty. This review updates the comprehensive ophthalmologist on neuro-ophthalmic topics.
