Two illustrative cases of AZOOR

1 February 2019 | | Neuro-Ophthalmology | Acute zonal occult outer retinopathy, autofluorescence, ellipsoid zone, enlarged blind spot

The authors present two illustrative cases of acute zonal occult outer retinopathy (AZOOR) which causes acute idiopathic blind spot enlargement. The disease is characterised by sudden loss of outer retinal function associated with photopsia, with minimal or no fundoscopic changes...

Differences in elastometry of cornea and optic nerve head in both eyes of patients with NAION

1 February 2019 | | Neuro-Ophthalmology | Corneal hysteresis, corneal resistance factor, non-arteritic anterior ischaemic neuropathy, optic nerve head biomechanics, real-time elastography

Non-arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (NAION) is an important cause of visual loss in the middle aged and elderly population. This prospective cross-sectional study investigates the biomechanical properties of optic nerve head (ONH) and cornea in both eyes of patients...

A rare case of oculomotor nerve palsy from presumed cavernous angioma

1 February 2019 | | Neuro-Ophthalmology | Cavernous angioma, infant, oculomotor nerve, oculomotor nerve palsy, schwannoma

Cavernous angiomas of the cranial nerves are extremely rare, and those of the oculomotor (third) nerve are rarer still. The authors present a single case study of presumed cavernous angioma involving the subarachnoid portion of the left third nerve, which...
