Neuro-Ophthalmology Service
Expert evaluation and consultation are available for treating neuro-ophthalmologic conditions, including optic neuritis, idiopathic intracranial hypertension (pseudotumor cerebri), and oculomotor complications of stroke, sickle cell disease, myasthenia gravis, multiple sclerosis, orbital inflammatory pseudotumor and Tolosa-Hunt syndrome among others.
A wide range of diagnostic testing for optic neuropathies is available to the referring physician, including, visual evoked potentials, perimetry, and contrast sensitivity.
We have access to 3-Tesla MRI and MR angiography, which has proven useful in ruling out posterior communicating aneurysm as a cause of 3rd cranial nerve palsy and low-flow carotid dural branch to cavernous sinus fistula. Learn more about the Neuro-0phthalmology Service.
