Abstract

PURPOSE: The purpose of this review was to update the practicing ophthalmologist on the English language neuro-ophthalmology literature from the past year. DESIGN: A review of English language literature from August 1, 2013, to August 1, 2014, was conducted. METHODS: The author searched PubMed from August 1, 2013, to August 1, 2014, limited to English language publications including original articles, review articles, and case reports and excluding letters to the editor, unpublished work, and abstracts. The following topics were searched: pupillary abnormalities, eye movement dysfunction, neuromuscular diseases, optic neuropathies, optic neuritis, demyelinating diseases including multiple sclerosis, lesions of the optic chiasm and posterior primary visual pathways, elevated intracranial pressure, tumors and aneurysms affecting the visual pathways, vascular diseases, higher visual function, and neuroimaging advances. The focus of this review is on clinically relevant literature in the past year for the practicing ophthalmologist. The aim was to highlight remarkable and interesting literature rather than exhaustively including all new neuro-ophthalmological publications of the year. RESULTS: Initially, more than 11,000 articles were identified. One hundred were selected that met criteria specified above. CONCLUSIONS: This review updates the comprehensive ophthalmologist on neuro-ophthalmic topics.
