Features: Neuro-ophthalmology is an interdisciplinary field that lies between ophthalmology and neurology, encompassing knowledge from both disciplines. In recent years, it has been trending toward becoming an independent specialty and is one of the mandatory courses in the basic training of clinical physicians. The authors of this book conducted experimental studies on macaque monkeys to create models of papilledema, offering their own insights into the diagnosis of early papilledema and the classification of papilledema, which differ from those discussed internationally. It holds practical value and greatly benefits clinical diagnosis. Other aspects, such as visual field defects, the presence of scotomas, and the analysis of lesion locations, are often challenging for ophthalmologists and neurologists to determine. The diagnosis and treatment of extraocular muscle palsies, as well as the significance and causes of pupillary abnormalities, are all discussed in detail. These specialized knowledge areas are indispensable for ophthalmologists and neurologists, and this book provides systematic and comprehensive explanations, which are rarely seen in China. Throughout the writing process, the book consistently emphasizes the connection between theory and practice, enabling readers to conduct clinical work based on the information provided.
