  • Title: Retinal masqueraders of optic nerve disease.
    Author: Sandbach JM, Newman NJ.
    Journal: Ophthalmol Clin North Am; 2001 Mar; 14(1):41-59. PubMed ID: 11370571.
    Abstract:
    Electrophysiologic testing of the visual system and ancillary imaging investigations may be crucial aids for correctly diagnosing patients with unexplained visual loss or isolated disc pallor. These patients may harbor a retinal disease process and not an optic neuropathy. A diverse range of retinal conditions may present in this manner, and misdiagnosis may lead to unnecessary neurologic investigation and subsequent delay in therapeutic intervention.
