Title	Diagnostic challenges in neuro-ophthalmology. The Latest in Optical Coherence Tomography.
Abstract Nr.	3022

Purpose	OCT is the most revolutionary technology in neuro-ophthalmology, helping us to solve difficult clinical diagnoses.
Methods	Peculiar relevant clinical cases.
Results	The ophthalmologists are now able with the advent of capabilities for computerized segmentation of the ganglion cell layers (neurons, "retinal gray matter") in addition to retinal nerve fiber layer (RFNL;axons) to examine the eye like the neuro-radiologist does with brain MRI.
Conclusion	OCT has a bright future : diagnostic tool, prognosis indicator of recovery after optic neuropathy, brain atrophy indicator, testing for remyelinating neuropathy agents, fluorescence labeling in dementia and potentially MS, Polarization-Sensitive OCT with changes to the axonal cytoskeleton preceding axonal loss in diseases like MS......
Conflict of interest	No
