摘要:

Recent articles in the scientific literature have described major advances in our understanding of the anatomy and vascular relationships of the optic nerve (cranial nerve II) and of the diagnosis and treatment of a variety of disorders affecting this nerve, including congenital anomalies of the optic disc, dominant hereditary optic neuropathy, anterior and retrobulbar arteritic and nonarteritic ischemic optic neuropathy, optic neuritis, Cuban epidemic optic neuropathy, toxic and nutritional optic neuropathies, radiation-induced optic neuropathy, AIDS-related optic neuropathy, optic neuropathies caused by tumors, and papilledema.

摘要:

Prominent amongst last year's diverse papers on the retina were a study of the clinical manifestations of dominant cerebellar ataxia with pigmentary macular dystrophy, a review of the pathogenesis of carcinoma associated retinopathy, the Ischaemic Optic Neuropathy Decompression Trial, and a review of congenital optic disc anomalies. Ocular complications of several neurosurgical procedures were also reported during this period.

摘要:

Recent articles in the scientific literature have described major advances in our understanding of the anatomy and vascular relationships of the three ocular motor nerves (cranial nerves III, IV, and VI) and of the diagnosis and treatment of a variety of pathologic processes that damage these nerves, including ischemia, inflammation, and compression.

摘要:

Recent discoveries emanating from basic electrophysiological, anatomical, and pharmacological studies have implications for the diagnosis and treatment of clinical disorders of eye movements caused by disease affecting the brainstem and cerebellum. Electrophysiological studies have better defined the role of the superior colliculus in programming of saccades, and the nucleus reticularis tegmenti pontis in saccade-vergence interaction. Pharmacological inactivation studies have demonstrated the important role played by gamma-aminobutyric acid in the normal control of gaze and lead to trials of new agents in the treatment of nystagmus.

摘要:

Benign positional vertigo, the most common cause of vertigo, can now be cured with a simple bedside maneuver. A series of recent publications have clarified the pathophysiology of benign positional vertigo and documented the efficacy of particle repositioning maneuvers for treating the condition. The number of genetic loci and abnormal genes associated with inherited auditory and vestibular disorders is rapidly expanding. Within the past years, genes have been identified for Usher syndrome, Alport syndrome, deafness with fixation of the stapes and familial periodic ataxia. These discoveries should lead to improved diagnosis and, eventually, specific treatments for these disorders.

摘要:

Rapid advances, in respect of the visual and auditory systems, have occurred in neuroimaging over the past year in the area of so-called 'functional imaging', and in particular of functional magnetic resonance imaging. This has been accelerated by the introduction of echo-planar imaging, which allows for the very fast acquisition (< 100 ms/image) of multislice images. Radiology is no longer just a question of interpreting anatomy, for, with the ability to combine structure with function, we are now able to extract physiological information. This opens up exciting possibilities for advances in the field of neuroscience, and functional imaging will therefore form the main thrust of this review.

摘要:

Recent clinical trials have demonstrated that we can prevent stroke with appropriate medical and surgical therapy. Treatment of stroke risk factors, antiplatelet therapy, anticoagulant therapy, and carotid endarterectomy have all proven to be effective if applied in appropriate clinical circumstances. This review will highlight the areas in which we have clinical trial evidence to guide us, and will point out those circumstances in which uncertainty remains
