Summary
The goal of this chapter is to provide a concise summary of the most common emergencies in neuro-ophthalmology. The chapter’s focus is three main neuro-ophthalmic emergency topics: diplopia, pupil abnormalities, and acute loss of vision. The chapter concludes with other important topics that are not neurological in nature, but are important to diagnose immediately such as a retinal detachment or ruptured globe.
