Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Visual loss is a common complaint to the neurologist. The visual pathways represent one third of the supratentorial brain mass and are frequently affected by structural lesions and a wide range of neurological disorders. By performing a basic ocular examination and asking the right questions, the neurologist should be able to evaluate a patient with visual loss. However, a detailed ocular examination is always necessary before obtaining further neurological workup. |
