Book excerpt: This comprehensive monograph opens up sensational new diagnostic and therapeutic perspectives. The topographic information is presented with excellent anatomic preparations. The wide spectrum of symptoms is taken from extensive clinical experience; they are critically analysed and compared to the ophthalmological, neurosurgical, and neuroradiological literature. The monograph is an excellent source for the ophthalmologic and neurologic clinician who is the first to be confronted with symptoms of optic nerve lesions. For the radiologist, it offers a clear, didactic overview of typical pathological changes of the most important lesions. For the neurosurgeon, the discussion of optimal approach and intraoperative findings points to the possibility of early microsurgical intervention that retains as much function as possible.
