Here's the presentation from Sam Evans. Great summary of the diagnosis and management of lacrimal disease.

What do we know about concussion and visual loss? Tina Parmar summarises this condition for us. Interestingly, we don't see it that often as these patients are often treated by their primary physician. However, we need to be aware of the pathophysiology as it will help us with our differentials.

Here's an example of some slides uploaded.

This was an interesting case of a patient with suspected GCA that was given oral steroids on day 1 but still developed a new AION on day 3 despite oral steroids. We then started IVMP and this made the AION worse!

Did the steroids ironically cause a hypercoaguable state - as has been reported before? or is this the natural history of the GCA and should we have just given IVMP from day 1 ?
