Around 60%--75% of myasthenia gravis (MG) patients initially present with nonspecific ocular symptoms. Failed recognition of these symptoms may delay the diagnosis of MG up to 5 years or more, leading to a reduced likelihood of remission and increased morbidity.

Spectral-domain (SD-) optical coherence tomography (OCT) can reliably measure axonal (peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer [pRNFL]) and neuronal (macular ganglion cell + inner plexiform layer [GCIPL]) thinning in the retina. Measurements from 2 commonly used SD-OCT devices are often pooled together in multiple sclerosis (MS) studies and clinical trials despite software and segmentation algorithm differences; however, individual pRNFL and GCIPL thickness measurements are not interchangeable between devices. In some circumstances, such as in the absence of a consistent OCT segmentation algorithm across platforms, a conversion equation to transform measurements between devices may be useful to facilitate pooling of data.

Optic neuritis (ON) may be the initial manifestation of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD). Aquaporin-4 antibody (AQP4 Ab) is used to diagnose NMOSD. This has implications on prognosis and is important for optimal management. We aim to evaluate if clinical features can distinguish AQP4 Ab seropositive and seronegative ON patients.

To determine whether patients with biopsy-confirmed optic nerve glioma differ in clinical features and outcomes from those diagnosed by neuroradiologic imaging alone. Methods: Retrospective comparative analysis. Pilocytic astrocytomas (PAs) and gliomas of the optic nerve were identified through ICD-O codes in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) cancer registry from 1975 through 2017.

The identification of glaucomatous optic neuropathy in the setting of optic disc drusen (ODD) is a challenge, and the decision of whether to offer treatment in the form of intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction is controversial. Here, we present a series of patients with coexisting ocular hypertension and ODD to evaluate clinical features, treatment options, and progression of optic neuropathy. In addition, a review of the literature on ODD with elevated IOP is provided.

The main purpose was to evaluate the changes in peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness and vessel density (VD) in post-COVID-19 patients during 12-month follow-up. Methods: In this prospective study, patients with COVID-19 who were attended in the Hospital Clinico San Carlos (Madrid, Spain) were included.

A multitude of terms have been used to describe automated visual field abnormalities. To date, there is no universally accepted system of definitions or guidelines. Variability among clinicians creates the risk of miscommunication and the compromise of patient care. The purposes of this study were to 1) assess the degree of consistency among a group of neuro-ophthalmologists in the description of visual field abnormalities and 2) to create a consensus statement with standardized terminology and definitions.

This study evaluates the effectiveness of a multidisciplinary protocol for management of patients with papilledema and vision loss secondary to increased intracranial pressure. Methods: Retrospective record review of all adult patients who presented with vision-threatening papilledema (VTPE) and were treated under this protocol. Patients are admitted for lumbar drain placement and diuretics and followed daily to determine if they may be managed medically or require surgery (optic nerve sheath fenestration [ONSF] and/or cerebrospinal fluid [CSF] shunting). Results: Nineteen patients were included.

Lumbar puncture CSF pressure measurements in a large group of adults (116) having lumbar puncture (LP) for diagnostic reasons with no clinical indication of raised intracranial pressure were used to establish the normal range of CSF pressure.

Lumbar puncture (LP) is considered an essential component of the diagnosis of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) and ruling out IIH mimics, such as meningeal inflammation and neoplastic disease. Such mimics are unlikely in patients who are systemically well and fit the clinical demographic of IIH. It is important to take into account the risks of performing a LP as patients commonly experience mild adverse effects and infrequently more serious ones including psychological distress.

For patients with nonfunctioning pituitary adenoma (NFPA) without manifesting visual acuity impairment or visual field defect (VFD), more sensitive and objective assessment methods will allow earlier detection before irreversible damage to the visual system. This study aimed to evaluate retinal vessel densities (VDs) alterations in these patients using optical coherence tomography angiography and to determine its diagnostic abilities.

Ischemic strokes in both the anterior and posterior circulation can lead to visual deficits, which can affect functional ability. Thrombolytic therapies are often withheld to patients with visual deficits because of either being missed on initial evaluation or because of the misconception that their deficits are not as severe or as disabling. Alternatively, delays in patient arrival for emergent evaluation lead to missed opportunities for acute stroke treatment.

Sharp edge eye syndrome (SEES), sometimes known as visual looming syndrome, is a condition in which the patient experiences ocular pain or discomfort when viewing or mentally picturing sharp objects and edges. Patients may present for medical care because they perceive the condition to represent an ophthalmic problem or a sign of a more serious underlying condition. An individual case report of SEES is included to aid in illustrating syndrome characteristics.

Topical glycopyrronium tosylate (GT) is an anticholinergic medication for treatment of axillary hyperhidrosis. Pharmacologic mydriasis and anisocoria from topical GT has been reported and may be underrecognized. This study aims to clinically characterize patients presenting with pharmacologic mydriasis from exposure to this medication. Methods: This study is a retrospective observational case series.

AB The primate lateral geniculate nucleus has long been a favorite structure among anatomists because of its striking lamination. It has been shown that each lamina receives input from a different eye using various single label techniques but never by double labeling. Here, we illustrate the organization of retinal inputs to the lateral geniculate nucleus by injection of cholera toxin-B conjugated to Alexa Fluor-488 into the right eye and cholera toxin-B conjugated to Alexa Fluor-594 into the left eye.
