Neuro-ophthalmology is a subspecialty of both neurology and ophthalmology training the visual pathways including the optic nerve, chiasm, optic tract, lateral geniculate nucleus, optic radiation and cerebral visual cortex, nerves associated with ocular muscles and ocular muscles. Symptoms associated with neuro-ophthalmic disorders usually include afferent visual system disorders such as optic neuritis vision-related migraines, optic neuropathy, papilledema, pseudotumor cerebri, brain tumors or strokes, and the efferent visual system disorders such as anisocoria and other pupil abnormalities, diplopia and other visual disturbances, un-explained vision loss, sudden temporary or permanent visual loss, ophthalmoplegia, ptosis, eyelid and facial spasms, eye movement disorders in paralitic or restrictive types. Even with immediate therapy, these clinical entities carry a high rate of morbidity. The neurohospitalist should be familiar with the workup and management of neuro-ophthalmological emergencies. Correct and complete euro-ophthalmological examination at the bedside and the ability to interpret key findings under the aspect of emergency medicine with limited resources is important to perform correct diagnosis and start treatment. Aim of this special issue is to collect cases of neurophtalmology emergency disorders, expecial if with peculiar characteristics, in order to teach quick management, possible differential diagnoses, therapies and possible outcomes.
