Abstract

FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME AT AIOS, WE PRESENT AN IC EXPLORING THE NUANCES OF PAEDIATRIC NEURO-OPHTHALMOLOGY. THIS NICHE SPECIALITY TACKLES CASES WHICH COMPRISE A NIGHTMARE SITUATION FOR MOST OPHTHALMOLOGISTS USUALLY INVOLVING A VISUALLY IMPAIRED TODDLER WITH BIZARRE EYE MOVEMENTS! A SYSTEMATIC CASE BASED APPROACH WILL BE TAKEN TO ILLUSTRATE THE CLINICAL CLUES WHICH HELP IN MAKING THE CORRECT OCULAR DIAGNOSIS AND RECOGNIZING THE SYSTEMIC ASSOCIATIONS.THE FOCUS WILL BE ON CASE BASED DISCUSSIONS OF CLINICAL PUZZLES HIGHLIGHTING RARE DISORDERS LIKE PAEDIATRIC OPTIC NEURITIS, ABNORMALITIES OF THE NEAR REFLEX, MYASTHENIA GRAVIS AND INTENTIONAL HEAD TRAUMA.
