Abstract

Chapter 10 presents a case regarding acute monocular visual loss, and discusses how ophthalmological evaluation is critical in acute monocular visual loss, and should include a dilated funduscopic exam (prior to which careful pupillary testing should be done), when ophthalmological causes of monocular blindness have been excluded, retinal ischemia, ischemic optic neuritis, and demyelinating optic neuritis must be considered, and that diagnostic testing in acute visual loss should include brain and vascular imaging, ESR, and possibly lumbar puncture.
