Neuro-ophthalmological emergency disorders: A general view
Journal Title: International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Neuro-ophthalmological emergency disorders usually occur with symptoms of visual loss, diplopia, ocular motility impairment and anisocoria. In this mini-review, we aim to take look the common neuro-ophthalmological emergency disorders. The delayed diagnosis of the neuro-ophthalmological emergencies puts the patient at risk of death or blindness. If these are well-known, the discrimination and management of these emergency conditions will be easier.
