Neuro-Ophthalmologic Monitoring in the Management of Increased Intracranial Pressure From Leaking Arachnoid Cysts.

Background: Intracranial arachnoid cysts are common incidental imaging findings. They may rarely rupture, leading to the development of subdural hygromas and high intracranial pressure (ICP). Neurosurgical intervention has been advocated in the past, but recent evidence indicates that most cases resolve spontaneously.

Management of Peripapillary Choroidal Neovascular Membrane in Patients With Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension.

Objective: To report the clinical features and treatment outcomes of patients with peripapillary choroidal neovascular membrane (CNVM) secondary to idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH).

Methods: Retrospective, multicenter chart review of patients diagnosed with peripapillary CNVM in the course of the treatment and follow-up of IIH.

Results: Records were reviewed from 7 different institutions between 2006 and 2016.

Neuro-ophthalmologic exploration in non-functioning pituitary adenoma.

Non-functioning pituitary adenoma may lead to blindness and causes visual impairment in 58% of cases and, more rarely, ocular motor disorder. Patients are slow to become aware of their visual dysfunction, vision in one eye compensating the deficit in the other. Assessment of visual function, comprising visual acuity and visual field evaluation and fundus examination, should be performed regularly according to the severity of impairment.

Bilateral fungal endophthalmitis masquerading as multifocal chorioretinitis.

Purpose: Spontaneous healing of ocular Candida infection is extremely rare, and early clinical manifestations may be misleading. This report explicates how to make the appropriate diagnosis when facing atypical presentation of the disease.

Methods And Patients: Case report.

Positive apraclonidine test 36 hours after acute onset of horner syndrome in dorsolateral pontomedullary stroke.

A 40-year-old man developed a Horner syndrome as part of a dorsolateral medullary brainstem infarction. Thirty-six hours after the onset of the stroke, topical instillation of 0.5% apraclonidine produced reversal of anisocoria.
