Background: Despite automated pupillometry's (AP) improved detection of relative afferent pupillary defects (RAPDs) compared with the Swinging Flashlight Test (SFT), AP remains uncommon in clinical practice. This study examined barriers to routine use of AP in evaluation of acute vision loss. Methods: (1) Ophthalmologists and optometrists' perceptions of AP were captured via electronic survey. (2) Ophthalmologists were presented with clinical vignettes to assess their use of AP in clinical...

Abstract: Optical coherence tomography angiography is one of the latest noninvasive imaging modalities for visualizing the vasculature of retina and choroid. We describe its application in the diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of a patient with peripapillary choroidal neovascular membrane in the setting of idiopathic intracranial hypertension, who responded well to a course of ranibizumab intravitreal injections. Address correspondence to Chinedu Igwe, MBBS, Kings College Hospital, Denmark...

Background: Nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) is a common cause of acute optic neuropathy in adults and is associated with vascular risk factors. Owing to the overlapping risk factor profiles between NAION and cerebral stroke, previous studies have produced conflicting results with regard to NAION as an independent risk factor for stroke. Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted using the Rochester Epidemiology Project database to identify all cases...

Background: Because there are no head-to-head studies of the efficacy of surgical options in the treatment of medically-intractable idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), procedure selection is often based on expected complications. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) diversion by shunting has been reported to have a 23%–67% rate of shunt failure. But these figures derive from small cohorts or studies that do not separate the complication rates of the different shunt options—ventriculoperitoneal...

Abstract: A woman presented with bilateral visual disturbances that had been diagnosed as visual snow. Dilated ophthalmic examination and multimodal imaging were strongly suggestive of birdshot chorioretinopathy, meriting initiation of systemic immunomodulatory therapy. Visual snow requires a thorough ophthalmologic exam to exclude other ocular diseases. Address correspondence to Kathleen B.

Background: Addison disease, corticosteroid withdrawal, and taking synthetic growth hormone have been linked with development of intracranial hypertension, but there is still debate on whether administration of other exogenous hormones plays a role in precipitating elevated pressure. The growing use of hormonal therapy for gender affirmation provides an opportunity to explore this possibility. Methods: All transgender patients taking exogenous hormones for female-to-male (FTM) and male-to-female...

Background: En face optical coherence tomography (OCT) uses the data acquired during OCT of the optic disc, which typically is used to determine measurements of the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (ppRNFL), to generate a coronal composite fundus image rather than a cross-sectional image. En face OCT has been reported to identify retinal changes related to papilledema in idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) but has not been evaluated for monitoring papilledema. This study aimed...

Background: Skew deviation, a vertical misalignment of the eyes caused by a lesion in the vestibulo-ocular pathway, is a common manifestation of brainstem dysfunction, yet comprehensive information about its clinical profile is lacking. The aim of this study was to document presenting symptoms, causes, ocular alignment features, accompanying neurologic signs, pertinent brain imaging abnormalities, and measures used to relieve diplopia. Methods: We searched the electronic medical records...
