Some neuro-ophthalmological problems.

Neuro-ophthalmologic side-effects of systemic medications.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW Systemic medications may cause side-effects manifesting primarily as neuro-ophthalmologic problems. It is paramount for the physician to be updated on both well recognized and novel associations between drugs and their potential adverse reactions. RECENT FINDINGS There is a growing list of medications that can cause pupil dilation, pupil constriction, dyschromatopsia, worsen...

Some neuro-ophthalmological observations.

Neuro-ophthalmological symptoms in vertigo and dizziness

Neuro-ophthalmological symptoms in vertigo and dizziness. The vestibular and visual systems are closely linked in the genesis of vertigo and dizziness. An examination of these two systems is helpful in the search for an aetiological diagnosis. In ENT, this double approach can also help to avoid certain ophthalmological pitfalls such as the mistaken idea that a squint cannot be of vestibular ori...

Neuro-ophthalmological disorders in HIV infected subjects with neurological manifestations.

AIMS To determine the frequency and features of neuro-ophthalmological manifestations in neurologically symptomatic HIV infected patients and to assess whether or not the visual evoked potential (VEP) features in these patients differ from those of neurologically asymptomatic HIV infected patients. METHODS Neuro-ophthalmological evaluation was performed in 166 neurologically symptomatic confi...

Brain injury rehabilitation: cortical and subcortical interfacing via retinal pathways.

Most patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) have visual and nonvisual retinal signal processing problems with concomitant dysfunctional sensory systems integration. These dysfunctions often include problems of spatial orientation, motor planning, and motor control. They are generally not visible on diffusion tensor imaging, diffusion spectrum magnetic resonance imaging, or functional magnet...

Clinical Review: Focused Brain Injury Rehabilitation: Cortical and Subcortical Interfacing via Retinal Pathways

Most patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) have visual and nonvisual retinal signal processing problems with concomitant dysfunctional sensory systems integration. These dysfunctions often include problems of spatial orientation, motor planning, and motor control. They are generally not visible on diffusion tensor imaging, diffusion spectrum magnetic resonance imaging, or functional magnet...
