Event Type Skills Workshop

Director(s) Daniel R. Gold, DO

Topic(s) Neuro-ophthalmology/Neuro-otology

Learning Objectives Many neurologists are uncomfortable with neuro-ophthalmic/neuro-otology patients and examination techniques. Resident neurologists often receive minimal exposure to neuro-ophthalmology and neuro-otology during training. This lab is an attempt to bridge this knowledge gap by exposing participants to the techniques of the neuro-ophthalmology and neuro-otology exams through hands-on interaction with expert faculty. The lab consists of stations to address individual components of the exam, including acuity (near and Snellen acuity), color vision, fields (confrontation and Amsler grid), pupils (RAPD and anisocoria), ocular alignment (prism cover, general prism use, red Maddox rod), assessment of pursuits and saccades, nystagmus examination (Frenzel lens), ophthalmoscopy (direct and panoptic ophthalmoscopes), assessment of the vestibular ocular reflex (head thrust and ophthalmoscopy), Hallpike testing, and repositioning treatments. Participants will spend time at each station for individualized instruction and troubleshooting with an expert on these essential examination skills, and should gain an understanding of the techniques used in performing the neuro-ophthalmic and neuro-vestibular exams, including afferent, pupil, efferent, and vestibular components.
