This monograph, which is part of a series in Essentials in Ophthalmology, is edited by Drs. Bright Lorenz and Anthony Moore, both of whom are well-known pediatric ophthalmologists. This 240-page book has a number of chapters that may be of general interest to neuroradiologists, particularly for those in children’s hospitals who are involved in pediatric head-and-neck imaging. One section with the greatest applicability to imaging involves pediatric ocular oncology. This 20-page chapter has excellent color plates of children and infants with a wide range of tumors, including eyelid, conjunctival, intra-ocular, and orbital tumors. For those who would like to know what the optic discs look like in various diseases such as retinoblastomas, capillary hemangiomas, and melanocytomas, this book provides such images. Although this is not a publication that neuroradiologists would purchase, it may be a volume to recommend to a hospital or medical school library for ready reference.
