The first edition of Neuro-Ophthalmology Illustrated was published in 2009. In the preface of the first edition, the authors state: Neuro-Ophthalmology Illustrated aims to provide the essential information on basic clinical neuro-ophthalmology and to simplify the perceived complexity of neuro-ophthalmology without sacrificing comprehensiveness. The first edition received uniformly excellent reviews. For example, the Lancet Neurology review stated: A fine synthesis of traditional and cutting-edge approaches to the modern practice of neuro-ophthalmology This outstanding illustrated textbook will serve as an excellent reference for neurologists, neurosurgeons, and general ophthalmologists at all levels of training.
The second edition of Neuro-Ophthalmology Illustrated was published approximately 6 years after the first edition. It is again published as a paperback, with an e-book edition available as well. The text contains 21 chapters with over 900 illustrations, many of which are in colour.
Examples of various chapters include transient visual loss, optic neuropathies, disc oedema, and diplopia. The book is well organised with an 18-page comprehensive index. Throughout the text, Biousse and Newman sprinkle a number of “pearls.” For example, in Chapter 3, Visual Fields, the authors have a “pearl” regarding an optic tract lesion: A left optic tract syndrome includes the following: – Right homonymous hemianopia – Right RAPD – Bowtie atrophy of the right optic nerve – Mostly temporal pallor of the left optic nerve This is a superb textbook, and can be highly recommended.
Although not specifically aimed at the practising neuro-ophthalmologist, it is an excellent book to have readily available when seeing patients to quickly review a topic. This will be the text that I will personally recommend for students and residents interested in the field of neuro-ophthalmology.
