AbstractNeuro-ophthalmologic disorders arise from all areas of the neuro-ophthalmologic tract. They may be expressed simply as loss of vision or double vision, or as complex syndromes or systemic illnesses, depending on the location and type of lesion. Problems may occur anywhere along the visual pathway, including the brainstem, cavernous sinus, subarachnoid space, and orbital apex, and may affect adjacent structures also. A firm understanding of the neuroanatomy and neurophysiology of the eye is essential to correct diagnosis.
