Basics of Neurology for Ophthalmology Board Exams

Ophthalmology is closely related to neurology, and it is so for their basic sciences. Basic neurology questions commonly appear in basic ophthalmology exams, with variable numbers depending on the exam. This chapter is not intended to cover all aspects of basic neurology, rather provide essential concepts that may appear in exams. An example of a topic commonly asked about is foramina connecting the middle cranial fossa to other extracranial sites, where a bullet point and a graph provide the needed details in their corresponding section.
