Optic nerve 1
Optic neuritis can be caused by viral or infectious etiologies. Signs include a pale optic disc, edema, and hyperfluorescence. Visual field defects are typically altitudinal and color vision is diminished. Management includes serologic tests, fasting lipid profile, and blood tests. Treatment focuses on underlying diseases, stopping smoking, and low-dose aspirin. Arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy presents with scalp tenderness and jaw pain and requires high-dose steroids to prevent vision loss. Papilledema is caused by increased intracranial pressure and presents as optic disc swelling, with risks of long-term vision damage if not addressed.
Optic atrophy (b)
This document provides an overview of optic atrophy, including:
1. It defines optic atrophy as degeneration of the optic nerve due to damage to the visual pathways from the retina to the lateral geniculate body.
2. It classifies optic atrophy based on whether damage originates in the retina or more centrally, and by cause. Primary optic atrophy occurs without swelling, while secondary involves prior swelling.
3. Causes of primary optic atrophy include optic neuritis, compression, hereditary conditions, toxins, trauma, and multiple sclerosis. Secondary optic atrophy follows conditions like papilledema.
4. Treatment focuses on the underlying cause, with vitamins sometimes used
Struge weber syndrome case presentation
This document describes a case of Struge Weber syndrome in a 9-month-old female child presenting with fever and right-sided focal seizures for 7 days. Struge Weber syndrome is a rare neurocutaneous disorder characterized by a port-wine stain on the face along with leptomeningeal angiomas. Key findings included a port-wine stain on the left side of the face and right arm, CT scans showing left-sided cerebral calcifications and atrophy, and raised intraocular pressure in the left eye. The child was diagnosed with Struge Weber syndrome and treated with antipyretics, anti-epileptics, antibiotics, and management of glaucoma.
Acute Central Nervous System Demyelination
This document summarizes and compares several acute and chronic demyelinating conditions of the central nervous system. Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis is an acute multifocal condition following infection or vaccination, treated with steroids or IVIg. Multiple sclerosis is a chronic condition with recurrent episodes over space and time, potentially showing oligoclonal bands and treated with immunomodulators. Optic neuritis and transverse myelitis can occur in isolation or with other conditions and are treated with high dose steroids, while other conditions like SLE, sarcoidosis and cancer should also be considered.
Complications of systemic lupus erythematosus
This document summarizes various complications that can occur as a result of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Complications can affect the blood, heart and circulation, lungs, kidneys, central nervous system, gastrointestinal system, joints/muscles/bones, and eyes. Common issues include anemia, blood clots, Raynaud's phenomenon, pericarditis, myocarditis, pleuritis, pleural effusion, lupus nephritis, CNS inflammation, nausea, weight loss, osteoporosis, and retinal damage. Left untreated, some complications like gangrene, coma, and retinal hemorrhages can become serious.
Aneurysm early signs and symptoms
A brain aneurysm is a bulge or ballooning in a blood vessel in the brain that is caused by a weakness in the vessel walls. Risk factors include older age, smoking, high blood pressure, drug/alcohol abuse, and inherited connective tissue disorders. Symptoms of a ruptured aneurysm are sudden and severe headache, nausea, stiff neck, blurred vision, sensitivity to light, seizures, drooping eyelid, loss of consciousness and confusion. Unruptured aneurysms may cause pain above or behind the eye, dilated pupil, changes in vision, or numbness of the face. The best treatment depends on each individual case.

Alzheimer's disease
This document discusses Alzheimer's disease, including what it is, how it affects the brain, stages of the disease, and treatment options. Specifically:
- Alzheimer's disease is a progressive brain disorder that causes brain cells to waste away and die, leading to cognitive decline.
- In Alzheimer's disease, the brain shrinks due to death of nerve cells caused by amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles forming. This damages neurons responsible for memories, feelings, and thoughts.
- Treatment options aim to block excess glutamate toxicity and prevent breakdown of acetylcholine in the brain, such as the drugs memantine and donepezil. Other treatments target the cholinergic hypothesis of Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis
Sturge weber syndrome
This document summarizes Encephalotrigeminal Angiomatosis, also known as Sturge-Weber Syndrome (SWS), a rare congenital neurological disorder characterized by a facial birthmark and abnormalities of the brain and eyes. SWS is caused by a somatic mutation in the GNAQ gene and results in errors in skin and nervous system development. Clinical manifestations include seizures, glaucoma, hemiparesis, and developmental delays. Diagnosis involves imaging tests like MRI, CT, and angiography showing abnormal blood vessels and lesions. Treatment focuses on controlling seizures and reducing pressure in the eyes. Prognosis is often poor if seizures begin before age 2, with increased risk of developmental delays.
Anterior ischemic optic neuropathy
This document provides information on anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION), which is the most common cause of acute optic neuropathy in older age groups. It can be divided into two types: arteritic AION, which is due to giant cell arteritis; and non-arteritic AION, which makes up most cases. Both types present with sudden painless vision loss and optic disc swelling. Arteritic AION carries a worse prognosis and requires high-dose steroid treatment to prevent loss of vision in the fellow eye. Non-arteritic AION has a variable course but generally a poor rate of recovery without any proven effective treatments.
Spinal cord injury
1) Spinal cord injury can occur from trauma such as motor vehicle accidents, falls, or violence. It results in loss of movement and sensation below the site of injury.
2) Injuries can be complete or incomplete. Complete injuries result in total loss of function below the injury while incomplete injuries cause mixed losses.
3) Common complications include respiratory issues, pressure ulcers, blood clots, and autonomic dysreflexia. Management involves steroids, surgery, and preventative care measures.
Kearns Sayre Syndrome
Kearns-sayre syndrome is a rare genetic disorder caused by abnormalities in the mitochondria's DNA. It affects people under age 20 and can cause paralysis of eye muscles, retinal degeneration, and weakness/damage of muscles, brain, heart and other organs over time. Doctors diagnose it through tests of protein/lactate levels or muscle biopsy to examine mitochondrial DNA. There is no cure currently, and symptoms worsen over time.

Ischemic optic neuropathies
INTRODUCTION
Optic nerve ischemia most frequently occurs at the optic nerve head, where structural crowding of nerve fibers and reduction of the vascular supply may combine to impair perfusion to a critical degree and produce optic disc edema. The most common such syndrome is termed anterior ischemic optic neuropathy(AION).
Generally, AION is categorized as either arteritic (associated with temporal arteritis) or nonarteritic .
Classic sign crbral aneurysm pbl
This document classifies cerebral aneurysms into three cases: ruptured, leaking, and unruptured. [1] A ruptured aneurysm causes a sudden, extremely severe headache described as the "worst headache ever" along with nausea, vomiting, neck stiffness, vision changes, sensitivity to light, seizures, drooping eyelid, loss of consciousness, or confusion. [2] A leaking aneurysm may cause a mild headache and will likely rupture fully. [3] An unruptured aneurysm may be asymptomatic, but a large one could press on brain tissue and cause eye or facial pain, vision changes, numbness, or weakness. The defining symptom of an aneurysm is the extreme rapid onset of
Leukodystrophies
This document summarizes several genetic leukodystrophies, including their inheritance pattern, affected enzyme or gene, clinical features, and MRI appearance. It describes adrenoleukodystrophy as an X-linked disorder caused by ABCD1 gene defects that leads to failure of peroxisomal fatty acid oxidation and can present as childhood cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy, adrenomyeloneuropathy, or Addison's disease. On MRI, it shows a characteristic pattern of different intensities in the central white matter. Zellweger syndrome is an autosomal recessive peroxisomal disorder caused by PEX1 defects that results in facial features, hepatomegaly, renal cysts, and diffuse
Paraplegia
Paraplegia is defined as impairment of motor function in the lower extremities, with or without sensory involvement, and is usually caused by involvement of the spinal cord, nerves supplying the lower limbs, or muscles directly. It is classified as spastic or flaccid depending on the affected part of the nervous system and resulting muscle tone. Common causes include spinal cord injuries, infections, tumors, and vascular disorders. A thorough history, neurological examination, and imaging tests are used to diagnose the condition and determine the specific cause and level of spinal involvement.

Endocrine conditions like diabetes and hypothyroidism are discussed. Finally, oncologic topics like lymphoma and other metastatic cancers to the eyes are summarized.
Brain tumor
Stroke occurs when a blood vessel in the brain bursts or is blocked by a clot, depriving brain cells of oxygen. Without treatment, brain cells quickly begin to die, which can lead to serious disability or death. Signs of a stroke include sudden numbness or weakness, vision changes, and severe headache. It is critical to seek emergency treatment immediately if someone is experiencing stroke symptoms, as clot-busting drugs must be given within three hours to minimize brain damage. The most common type of stroke is ischemic stroke, caused by a blood clot blocking a brain vessel.
Alzheimers Disease
1. Alzheimer's disease is a progressive brain disorder that causes memory loss and cognitive decline, and is the most common form of dementia.
2. It results from an increase in beta-amyloid proteins in the brain that leads to nerve cell death. The disease is incurable and causes impairment in memory, reasoning, language, and perception.
3. Risk factors include age over 65, genetics, hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, alcohol use, and mild cognitive impairment. The disease is characterized by two lesions - neuritic plaques containing beta-amyloid protein and neurofibrillary tangles containing tau protein.
