Pseudotumor Cerebri Secondary to Lymecycline Intake
Raised intracranial pressure (ICP) is associated with a multitude of causes, including a wide range of medications
Ganglion Cell Layer Thickness is Reduced in Inner Nasal Sectors in Patients With Pituitary Adenoma
Neuro-ophthalmic evaluation of patients with chiasmal compression is critical to guide appropriate management. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ganglion cell layer (GCL) thickness in patients with pituitary adenoma using Spectralis optical coherence tomography
Action video game players and deaf observers have larger Goldmann visual fields.
International audienceWe used Goldmann kinetic perimetry to compare how training and congenital auditory deprivation may affect the size of the visual field. We measured the ability of action video game players and deaf observers to detect small moving lights at various locations in the central (around 30 degrees from fixation) and peripheral (around 60 degrees ) visual fields. Experiment 1 found that 10 habitual video game players showed significantly larger central and peripheral field areas than 10 controls. In Experiment 2 we found that 13 congenitally deaf observers had significantly larger visual fields than 13 hearing controls for both the peripheral and central fields. Here the greatest differences were found in the lower parts of the fields. Comparison of the two groups showed that whereas VGP players have a more uniform increase in field size in both central and peripheral fields deaf observers show non-uniform increases with greatest increases in lower parts of the visual field
