About this title

Review:

Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), Volume 294, Issue 15 --

"Walsh and Hoyt's Clinical Neuro-ophthalmology is considered the paramount reference text in the field. Broad in scope and impeccably referenced, the multivolume text has regularly provided a comprehensive review of neuro-ophthalmology and the neuro-ophthalmic manifestations of neurologic, ophthalmologic, and systemic disorders. Similar in format to the last edition, the new sixth edition provides a multiauthored, encyclopedic text, rich in clinical acumen and teeming with clinical anecdotes. It is illustrated with black-and-white photographs. Slimmed down from five volumes to a mere three, the sixth edition is a fitting continuation of a time-honored text. Written and edited by international leaders in neuro-ophthalmology, each chapter provides an extensive discourse on the history, clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment of the relevant topic. Although many chapters bear a strong resemblance to those in prior editions, several have been updated extensively to reflect expanding knowledge. Of special note are the chapters on optic neuritis (volume 1) and cerebrovascular disease (volume 2). These outstanding updates demonstrate their individual authors' in-depth understanding of the subject matter and notable ability to organize difficult topics into coherent clinical visions. Walsh and Hoyt's Clinical Neuro-ophthalmology is an essential reference that belongs in every medical library, department of neurology, and department of ophthalmology."--Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA)
