#Optic

Описание: In this comprehensive dual-topic video, we explore two critical areas in neurology: Optic Neuropathy and the diverse spectrum of Seizure Syndromes. Part one focuses on the acute evaluation and differential diagnosis of conditions affecting the optic nerve, while part two dissects the complex classification and management of high-yield seizure disorders. This video emphasizes the need for rapid clinical identification and timely intervention to preserve both vision and brain function.

💡 What You’ll Learn:
Optic Neuropathy: Systematic approach to unilateral and bilateral vision loss, including distinguishing features of Optic Neuritis (e.g., related to MS or MOGAD), Ischemic Optic Neuropathy (AION), and Toxic/Nutritional Optic Neuropathies.

Optic Nerve Workup: Key diagnostic tools, including Fundoscopy, Visual Field Testing, Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), and Neuroimaging (MRI protocols).

Seizure Syndrome Classification: Understanding the 2017 ILAE Classification system, differentiating between generalized, focal, and unknown onset seizures, and defining the major Epilepsy Syndromes (e.g., Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy (JME), Absence Epilepsy).

Etiology and EEG Correlation: Linking the clinical presentation of specific syndromes to characteristic EEG patterns (e.g., 3 Hz spike-and-wave) and discussing underlying genetic and structural causes.

Management Protocols: Evidence-based treatment strategies for both conditions, including high-dose steroids and plasma exchange for acute optic neuritis, and the selection of appropriate Anti-Seizure Medications (ASMs) based on the specific epilepsy syndrome.

🎓 Ideal for:
Neurology residents and fellows, ophthalmologists, emergency medicine physicians, neuro-hospitalists, and advanced medical students seeking mastery in these critical neuro-ophthalmology and epileptology topics.
