    Abstract Background and purpose: Pulsatile tinnitus is experienced by most patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension. The pathophysiology remains uncertain; however, transverse sinus stenosis and sigmoid sinus diverticulum/dehiscence have been proposed as potential etiologies. We aimed to determine whether the prevalence of transverse sinus stenosis and sigmoid sinus diverticulum/dehiscence was increased in patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension and pulsatile tinnitus relative to those without pulsatile tinnitus and a control group.
    Materials and methods: CT vascular studies of patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension with pulsatile tinnitus (
    Results: Severe bilateral transverse sinus stenoses were more frequent in patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension than in controls (
    Conclusions: While our data corroborate previous studies demonstrating increased prevalence of sigmoid sinus diverticulum/dehiscence and transverse sinus stenosis in idiopathic intracranial hypertension, we did not establish an increased prevalence in patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension with pulsatile tinnitus compared with those without. It is therefore unlikely that these entities represent a direct structural correlate of pulsatile tinnitus in patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension.

    Abstract Optic nerve disorders range from the manifestations of life-threatening intracranial or systemic disease, to minor congenital anomalies. Careful clinical assessment, which relies upon a thorough evaluation of symptoms as well as signs, is essential for effective and timely investigation and treatment. Examination methods and pitfalls to be avoided are discussed.

    Abstract Polymorphism in mitochondrial DNA necessitates careful scrutiny of potentially pathogenic mutations to establish their true pathogenic significance. Research on Leber hereditary optic neuropathy continues to provide insights into the pathogenesis of mitochondrial disease. Interest in the retinal manifestations of mitochondrial disease has highlighted the macular dystrophy of the 3243 mutation, particularly in association with the syndrome of maternally inherited diabetes and deafness. Mitochondrial encephalopathies present in a number of ways, but imaging predominantly shows abnormalities of myelin and grey-matter nuclei. The mitochondrial myopathies provide insights into interactions between nuclear and mitochondrial DNA mutations and parallels between mitochondrial diseases and aging.

    Abstract Purpose: To compare the clinical and demographic characteristics of adult patients with nonorganic or medically unexplained visual loss (MUVL) to those with other common conditions presenting to a neuro-ophthalmology clinic.
    Methods: Case-control design: a retrospective review of medical notes on a consecutive case series of 49 patients assessed at the King's College Hospital neuro-ophthalmology clinic with unexplained visual loss and matched with the next assessed patient identified from clinic records. Patients presented post-symptom onset with a mean clinical course of 30 months (SD=67 months) and standard clinical examination used to confirm diagnoses, alongside ancillary investigations if required.
    Results: Seventy-two percent (n=36) of MUVL patients were female. In comparison with patients with organic visual disorders, MUVL cases presented with significantly higher rates of bilateral (cf. unilateral) visual impairment (41%, n=20), premorbid psychiatric (27%, n=13) as well as functional (24%, n=12) diagnoses and psychotropic medication usage (22%, n=11). Medically unexplained cases were significantly more likely to report preceding psychological stress (n=9; 18%).
    Conclusions: Medically unexplained visual impairment may be regarded as part of the spectrum of medically unexplained disorders seen in the general hospital setting. Research is needed to determine long-term outcomes and effective tailored interventions.

    Abstract Background: The syndrome of subacute simultaneous peripheral neuropathy and bilateral optic neuropathy is known to occur in tropical countries, probably due to malnutrition or toxicity, but not often seen in developed countries. We report seven patients in London who were not malnourished or alcoholic, and in whom no clear cause was found.
    Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the case notes and arranged some further investigations.
    Results: All patients developed peripheral and bilateral optic neuropathy within 6 months. Patients were aged 30-52, and all of Jamaican birth and race but lived in the UK. Most had subacute, painful ataxic sensory axonal neuropathy or neuronopathy, some with myelopathy. Nerve conduction studies revealed minor demyelinating features in two cases. The optic neuropathy was symmetrical, subacute and monophasic, usually with marked reduction in visual acuity. CSF protein concentration was usually elevated but other laboratory investigations were normal. Patients showed only modest improvement at follow-up.
    Conclusion: These patients share a common clinical and electrophysiological phenotype, age, ethnicity and elevated CSF protein, but otherwise normal laboratory investigations. The syndrome is a cause of significant morbidity in young people. The cause remains uncertain despite thorough investigation.
