Visual Fields via the Visual Pathway, Second Edition
This book is a basic reference guide on the anatomy of the visual pathway, the layout/topography of the nerve fibers throughout the visual pathway, typical lesions affecting each part of the visual pathway, the visual field defects to be expected at each level, and the associated signs and symptoms (ocular and general) at each level of the visual pathway. It includes examples of visual field results enhanced by illustrative photographs and brain scans as appropriate to each part of the visual pathway and pathology. Also included are sections on differential diagnose and artefacts of testing. New features to this edition include updated methods of visual field assessment, additional descriptions of how individual visual field results should be interpreted, an updated review of the pros and cons of the various available test programs, and in each chapter a discussion of recent research advances and recommendations on baseline assessment, diagnosis, and re-assessment options to promote good clinical practice decisions.
Visual Fields via the Visual Pathway
Visual Fields via the Visual Pathway presents the varying visual field deficits occurring with lesions of the visual pathway. The book covers anatomy, pathology and signs and symptoms, plus visual field defects associated with specific parts of the visual pathway. Also covered is the basic theory of visual field assessment.This new edition includes
Visual Fields via the Visual Pathway
This textbook is a dynamic exploration of the relationship between the visual pathway and visual field impairments. Aimed at the practitioner or student of visual fields, the clinical focus of the book is oriented towards differential diagnosis and will assist the reader in identifying the site of a lesion. The emphasis is on detection and interpretation of visual field defects, rather than the background and psychophysics of visual field assessment. Discussion of the normal visual field is included for comparative purposes. The structure of the book traces the visual pathway anatomically from front to back, and is supplemented by information on methodology and programme choice.
