Optic Disc Edema
Arnold Anthony (1)
1. Jules Stein Eye Institute
Presentation reviews features which distinguish true optic disc edema from
pseudo-edema and outlines differential diagnosis of both unilateral and
bilateral optic disc edema, with management plans for the most common
entities. Primary diagnoses discussed include papilledema, papillitis, anterior
ischemic optic neuropathy, Leber hereditary optic neuropathy, and retinal
vascular causes.

Dilated Pupil
Aydin Pinar (1)
1. ICO
Unilateral or bilateral dilated pupils are always a disturbance for both patients
and doctors. A practical guideline will be given for the differential diagnosis and
management of dilated pupils.

Abduction Deficit, Differential Diagnosis and Work Up
Alobailan Majed (1)
1. King Saud University
Objectives: At the conclusion of this course, attendees will be able to provide
management solutions to patients with abduction deficit. The presentation will
cover the different clinical presentations of abduction deficit with the differential
diagnosis and the need for testing. The attendee will know when and what
studies, treatments, and referrals to initiate for distinct diagnoses.
Summary of Content: A practical approach to the patient with abduction deficits
will be presented. The discrimination of differentials diagnoses symptoms and
signs will be emphasized, utilizing video examples of methods of assessing
ocular alignment, cranial nerve palsy, internuclear ophthalmoplegia, fatigable
ptosis and ophthalmoplegia, and ice testing.
Target Audience: General ophthalmologists and residents
Educational Level: Beginning to intermediate

Optic Atrophy
Chung Sophia (1)
1. Saint Louis University School of Medicine
Optic atrophy is the morphologic endpoint of diseases that cause axonal loss
in the anterior visual system, i.e, the retinogeniculate pathway. The etiologies
vary considerably but a detailed history and examination can often guide the
ophthalmologist to the appropriate diagnosis. However, the diagnosis can
be elusive and laboratory evaluation is required. The presentation will focus
on the sometimes unique features of cause-specific optic atrophy and the
recommended clinical approach and evaluation of optic atrophy.

Internuclear Ophthalmoplegia
Kashii Satoshi (1)
1. Aichi Shukutoku University
WOC2012 Abstract Book
An ipsilateral adduction deficit with abduction nystagmus of the contralateral
eye is a classic sign of internuclear ophthalmoplegia (INO) that is caused
by lesions affecting the medial longitudinal fasciculus (MLF). Preserved
convergence suggests a caudal lesion with presumed preservation of the
medial rectus motorneurons. The diagnosis is fairly straightforward, but that
is not all, folks. INO causes various disturbances of extraocular movements
as the MLF contains the pathways mediating the vertical vestibuloocular reflex
and those connecting between vestibular nuclei and the interstitial nucleus of
Cajal.

Ptosis
McCulley Timothy (1)
1. Johns Hopkins School of Medicine
Ptosis of the eyelids is often assumed to be benign. This is true in the majority
of patients, with the most common cause being involutional changes of the
levator aponeurosis and muscle. Before jumping to this conclusion, other
etiologies should be considered. Blephaorptosis may indicate more a serious
underlying disease; such as myasthenia gravis, Horner syndrome, oculomotor
nerve abnormalities and increased orbicularis oculi tone. This talk will focus
on diagnostic clues to aid in identifying underlying causes of blepharoptosis.
Uveal Melanoma

IS-ONC-SA 188 (1)
Clinical Features
Shields Jerry (1)
1. Wills Eye Institute
Uveal melanoma can occur in the iris, ciliary body or choroid. Ophthalmologists
must recognize their clinical variations to provide the best patient care. Iris
melanoma can be nodular or diffuse. Ciliary body melanoma occurs in an
occult location and may attain a large size before clinical recognition, but
certain external signs may assist in recognition. Choroidal melanoma can be
nodular or diffuse and has several clinical variations. Melanoma in any location
can be nonpigmented, making the diagnosis more difficult.

Brachytherapy of Uveal Melanomas
Bornfeld Norbert (1)
1. University of Essen
Local radiation with episcleral radioactive plaques as introduced by Stallard is
now the most frequently used treatment modality in the armamentarium for
eye salvaging treatment of uveal melanomas. Based on a series of 1600
cases evaluated current techniques in the brachytherapy of uvealmelanomas
with gamma-ray (iodine-125) and beta-ray sources (ruthenium-106) will be
presented. Special emphasis will be laid on the design of plaques using both
radiation sources, limits and complications of brachytherapy with special
respect to large tumors and tumors at the posterior pole, ancillary treatment
modalities like intravitreal treatment (corticosteroids, anti-VEGF drugs) and
transpupillary thermotherapy and the management of treatment related
complications like exudative retinal and choroidal detachment, radiation
retinopathy and scleral necrosis.
