In cases of intractable epilepsy resistant to drug therapy, hemispherectomy is often the only treatment option to mitigate seizures; however, the true long-term subjective visual outcomes are relatively unexplored. In this study, we sought to determine and characterize patient-reported visual function years after hemispherectomy.

Over the past 2 decades, a growing number of large-scale clinical trials have helped expand the toolkit for emergency management of acute ischemic stroke. This article is intended to be an up-to-date resource to aid nonstroke specialist neurology providers and ophthalmologists in identifying situations and patient populations in which urgent stroke evaluation should be completed with options for emergent reperfusion therapy considered.
Disorders of the Fourth Cranial Nerve
Kline, Lanning B. MD; Demer, Joseph L. MD; Vaphiades, Michael S. DO; Tavakoli, Mehdi MD
doi : 10.1097/WNO.0000000000001261
June 2021 - Volume 41 - Issue 2 - p 176-193
This review of disorders of the fourth cranial nerve includes discussion on anatomy, examination techniques, congenital and acquired etiologies, differential diagnosis, and management options. The findings of the superior oblique muscle on orbital MRI in patients with fourth nerve palsy have had a major impact on our understanding of this cranial neuropathy. In addition, briefly reviewed are rare disorders of the fourth nerve: superior oblique myokymia, Brown syndrome, and ocular neuromyotonia. It behooves the clinician to have a clear understanding of the role that the fourth cranial nerve plays in a variety of neuro-ophthalmic conditions.
Variation in the Anatomy of the Normal Human Optic Chiasm: An MRI Study
Bosler, Nicholas S. I. BBiomed, BSc, DipL; Ashton, David MBBS, FANZCR; Neely, Andrew J. BEng, MEngSc, PhD, FRAeS; Lueck, Christian J. MB, BChir, MA, PhD, FRACP FRCP(UK), FAAN

June 2021 - Volume 41 - Issue 2 - p 194-199
Compression of the optic chiasm typically leads to bitemporal hemianopia. This implies that decussating nasal fibers are selectively affected, but the precise mechanism is unclear. Stress on nasal fibers has been investigated using finite element modeling but requires accurate anatomical data to generate a meaningful output. The precise shape of the chiasm is unclear: A recent photomicrographic study suggested that nasal fibers decussate paracentrally and run parallel to each other in the central arm of an “H.” This study aimed to determine the population variation in chiasmal shape to inform future models.
Prevalence of Optic Disc Drusen in Young Patients With Nonarteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy: A 10-Year Retrospective Study
Fraser, J. Alexander MD; Ruel?kke, Lea L. MD; Malmqvist, Lasse MD, PhD; Hamann, Steffen MD, PhD
doi : 10.1097/WNO.0000000000000974
June 2021 - Volume 41 - Issue 2 - p 200-205
Nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) in young patients (age ?50) accounts for a minority of all cases of NAION and is more highly associated with crowding of the optic nerves and bilateral involvement than NAION in older patients. Optic disc drusen (ODD) are likewise associated with crowded optic nerves and are located in the prelaminar optic nerve head where they could contribute to NAION pathogenesis. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of ODD in the eyes of young NAION patients using modern imaging methods and to compare it to the baseline 1.8%–2.0% prevalence of ODD in the general population.

Use of En Face Optical Coherence Tomography to Monitor Papilledema in Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension: A Pilot Study
Carey, Andrew R. MD; Bosley, Thomas M. MD; Miller, Neil R. MD; McCulley, Timothy J. MD; Henderson, Amanda D. MD
doi : 10.1097/WNO.0000000000000940
June 2021 - Volume 41 - Issue 2 - p 212-216
En face optical coherence tomography (OCT) uses the data acquired during OCT of the optic disc, which typically is used to determine measurements of the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (ppRNFL), to generate a coronal composite fundus image rather than a cross-sectional image. En face OCT has been reported to identify retinal changes related to papilledema in idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) but has not been evaluated for monitoring papilledema. This study aimed to assess the reliability and validity of en face OCT for monitoring papilledema.
Elevated Intracranial Pressure Associated With Exogenous Hormonal Therapy Used for Gender Affirmation
Nguyen, Huy V. MD; Gilbert, Aubrey L. MD, PhD; Fortin, Elizabeth MD; Vodopivec, Ivana MD, PhD; Torun, Nurhan MD; Chwalisz, Bart K. MD; Cestari, Dean M. MD; Rizzo, Joseph F. III MD

June 2021 - Volume 41 - Issue 2 - p 217-223
Addison disease, corticosteroid withdrawal, and taking synthetic growth hormone have been linked with development of intracranial hypertension, but there is still debate on whether administration of other exogenous hormones plays a role in precipitating elevated pressure. The growing use of hormonal therapy for gender affirmation provides an opportunity to explore this possibility.
Complications of Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt for Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension: A Single-Institution Study of 32 Patients
Brune, Anthony J. DO; Girgla, Taania BS; Trobe, Jonathan D. MD
doi : 10.1097/WNO.0000000000000922
June 2021 - Volume 41 - Issue 2 - p 224-232
Because there are no head-to-head studies of the efficacy of surgical options in the treatment of medically-intractable idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), procedure selection is often based on expected complications. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) diversion by shunting has been reported to have a 23%–67% rate of shunt failure. But these figures derive from small cohorts or studies that do not separate the complication rates of the different shunt options—ventriculoperitoneal (VP), lumboperitoneal (LP), and ventriculoatrial (VA). The complication rate of LP shunts seems to be higher than that for VP shunts, the procedure currently in widest use. Our experience with VP shunts for IIH over the past decades suggests that the complication rate for that option is lower than reported series would suggest.

We present handheld optical coherence tomography (OCT) diagnosis of Grade 4 foveal hypoplasia (fovea plana) in a 28-day-old infant with albinism. Grade 4 foveal hypoplasia is characterized by the absence of the foveal pit, absence of outer segment lengthening, and absence of outer nuclear layer widening. Binocular visual acuity at 58 months follow-up was 1.2 logarithm of the minimal angle of resolution (logMAR). We describe our handheld OCT acquisition protocol and compare the morphological features with a healthy, age-matched control subject.
Absence of Decussation in Optic Pathway Inflammation in Neuromyelitis Optica and Its Implications for Astrocyte Localization

A 39-year-old woman presented with acute visual loss in her right eye. Brain and orbit MRI demonstrated T2 hyperintensity along a long section of her right optic nerve, chiasm, and tract with no evidence of decussation of the inflammation. Subsequent seropositivity for the aquaporin 4 antibody confirmed a diagnosis of neuromyelitis optica. Posterior pathway involvement is typical in neuromyelitis optica and supports the hypothesis that the condition is an astrocytopathy. Furthermore, the absence of decussation in the condition may be a function of astrocyte localization within the chiasm.
Paracentral Acute Middle Maculopathy Mimicking Retrobulbar Optic Neuropathy

A 70-year-old woman presented with acute awareness of decreased color vision in her right eye. Fundus examination and a flash electroretinography (ERG) were both normal. A multifocal ERG (mfERG) however revealed foveal depression, and thinning of inner nuclear layer was noted on macular optical coherence tomography (OCT), and a diagnosis of resolved paracentral acute middle maculopathy was made. Clinicians should be aware of the complementary role of OCT and mfERG in unexplained acute central visual loss to distinguish retinal from neuro-ophthalmic etiologies. Structural ocular imaging with OCT shows features of inner, middle, and outer retinal localizations to the visual loss.

June 2021 - Volume 41 - Issue 2 - p e215-e216
We herein describe a pediatric case of bilateral morning glory anomaly whose retrobulbar cysts and renal disease were underdiagnosed, and finally, he was diagnosed with renal coloboma syndrome. We recommend patients with colobomatous optic nerve malformations undergo a complete workup to avoid missed diagnosis, which includes (i) general physical examination looking for heart defects, genitourinary, auricular, and midline facial defects among other abnormalities; (ii) simple nephrologic investigations such as routine urine test and/or renal ultrasound to check for renal hypoplasia; and (iii) neuroimaging check for cerebrovascular anomalies and midline cranial defects. Genetic testing can be a useful tool to guide the workup.
Compressive Optic Disc Edema and Contralateral Papilledema: Type 2 Foster Kennedy Variant Syndrome

A 43-year-old woman presented with progressive anosmia, self-neglect, and lethargy for 1 year. Brain MRI demonstrated a mass that was compressing the optic nerve in the right eye and had a significant mass effect and cerebral edema producing increased intracranial pressure. Examination revealed the patient to have a variant of Foster Kennedy syndrome involving ipsilateral compressive optic neuropathy with superimposed optic disc edema and contralateral papilledema.
Optic Disc Edema and Posterior Globe Flattening Secondary to Ocular Hypotony: Case Report and Discussion Regarding Pathophysiology and Clinical Findings
Albano de Guimar?es, Juliana MD; Teixeira, Gabriela Carneiro MD; Silva, Taiane Kelly Lima da MD; Moura, Frederico Castelo PhD

June 2021 - Volume 41 - Issue 2 - p e220-e222
We describe a case of a young female patient presenting with ocular hypotension (4 mm Hg) secondary to cyclodialysis, and optic disc edema (ODE) after a blunt trauma in the right eye (right eye). MRI showed posterior globe flattening of the right eye, drawing our attention to the pathophysiology behind these findings. The combination of ODE and posterior globe flattening, as observed in the present case of ocular hypotony, is known from other conditions such as intracranial hypertension and space-flight neuro-ocular syndrome, pointing to a common pathophysiological mechanism, possibly resulting from axoplasmic stasis at the level of the lamina cribrosa due to a high translaminar pressure difference.
Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension Triggering Hemifacial Spasm
Garcia, Maria D. MD; Mansukhani, Sasha A. MBBS; Chen, John J. MD, PhD; Bhatti, M. Tariq MD

June 2021 - Volume 41 - Issue 2 - p e223-e224
Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a syndrome associated with increased intracranial pressure without a clear underlying cause that is classically seen in young women. Patients typically present with headache and ocular findings, including disc edema and, less frequently, an abduction deficit. To make a diagnosis of IIH, other than cranial nerve 6 or 7 dysfunction, patients must have a normal neurologic examination. When cranial nerve 7 is affected patients can present with hemifacial spasm. We present the case of a young woman with IIH who had hemifacial spasm as one of the presenting symptoms. Her symptoms resolved once she was treated for IIH with acetazolamide.

Hemorrhagic lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) insults are rare but have been reported in association with tumors, vascular malformations, and trauma. The localization of LGN lesions is facilitated by recognition of pathognomonic visual field defects. A 21-year old woman developed a sudden onset painless left homonymous horizontal sectoranopia. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a hemorrhagic cavernous malformation of the right temporal lobe.

A 51-year-old man presented to the ophthalmology service with binocular diplopia and facial numbness. The patient was returning from a trip to Mexico. He reported having been hit in the left periocular region by a fish while swimming. Local doctors repaired a laceration in the left lateral canthus shortly after the incident. Orbital imaging revealed 2 needle-like foreign bodies corresponding to retained pieces of a needlefish jaw in the left orbit. Given the location of the foreign bodies, observation with repeat imaging was deemed more appropriate than surgical exploration. Subsequent imaging studies showed no migration of the foreign body, and the patient did not suffer from any related complications more than 7 years after the initial injury.

Iris heterochromia is typically seen in association with congenital Horner syndrome. A man in his 40s with congenital iris heterochromia, blue in the right and brown in the left, presented with left-sided Horner syndrome. This was associated with recent change in color of his brown left iris to blue similar to the right iris. This case demonstrates a unique case of adult-onset Horner syndrome with reversal of iris heterochromia.

A 78 year-old woman has experienced multiple episodes of transient right third nerve palsy over the course of 15 years and has undergone multiple imaging studies as well as investigations for myasthenia gravis and giant cell arteritis in search for the diagnosis. When seen after the most recent episode, MRI with contrast and Fast-Imaging Employing Steady-State Acquisition protocol revealed a subtle enlargement and enhancement of the cisternal and proximal cavernous portions of the right third cranial nerve. An empiric diagnosis of schwannoma intrinsic to third cranial nerve was made. All patients with cyclical third nerve palsies should have appropriate neuroimaging to rule out subtle structural lesions before other investigations are undertaken.

A 6-year-old boy was referred for constant right gaze deviation. Rather than a gaze deviation, he constantly seemed to look on the left side of any displayed target. Examination revealed the association of a highly positive angle Kappa and an esotropia of equal values. He also exhibited signs of ocular albinism with no associated infantile nystagmus syndrome. The X-linked ocular albinism was confirmed genetically, explaining the presence of a positive angle Kappa. A highly positive angle Kappa can be associated with a convergent strabismus; in case both values offset each other, this can result in a constant “sidelooking,” which should not be confused with a gaze deviation.

A 6-year-old girl presented with complaints of absent horizontal eye movements since birth. There was also associated progressive scoliosis for past 1 year. Neuroimaging revealed split pons sign, butterfly-shaped medulla, and prominent inferior olivary nuclei. The presence of congenital horizontal gaze palsy, childhood onset progressive scoliosis, and abnormal neuroimaging findings confirmed the diagnosis of horizontal gaze palsy with progressive scoliosis. This case highlights the importance of neuroimaging in a child presenting with horizontal gaze palsy and scoliosis that helped for starting early rehabilitation of the child, prevention of permanent vision loss, and parental counseling for future pregnancies.

An isolated oculomotor nerve (CN III) palsy is a diagnostic concern because of the potential for serious morbidity or life-threatening causes. We present 5 unusual causes of oculomotor nerve palsy that escaped initial diagnosis in order to raise awareness of their associated features that will facilitate correct diagnosis.

Vision problems from giant cell arteritis (GCA) can be difficult to diagnose as patients may present with vision loss in the absence of systemic symptoms, have other comorbidities that affect inflammatory blood markers, or have other ocular diagnoses. We present 3 cases illustrating this point including a patient with advanced glaucoma with worsening vision from posterior ischemic optic neuropathy from GCA, a patient with arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AAION) erroneously diagnosed as optic neuritis without elevated inflammatory blood markers due to corticosteroid use, and a patient with AAION and a history of nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy in her fellow eye and untreated obstructive sleep apnea. GCA should be kept in the differential diagnosis for patients over 50 years of age even if they carry other ocular diagnoses. Temporal artery biopsy remains the gold standard for GCA diagnosis and is often required in equivocal cases.

A 35-year-old primigravida woman presented to the eye emergency department with reduced visual acuity in the right eye. Humphrey visual field testing showed a monocular right eye temporal hemianopia before delivery. An MRI after delivery revealed a largely symmetrical pituitary macroadenoma with chiasmal compression. This is a rare presentation of a pituitary macroadenoma especially when the tumor is largely symmetrical.
