[P]rovides clinicians with a helpful framework to help with understanding, diagnosis, and treating patients with this disease. For researchers, it highlights many areas where additional research is needed and it describes tools, such as optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography, that can be useful in this pursuit. [W]ell-organized and its inclusion of related disorders, which can frequently mimic MS, will help readers distinguish and differentiate. The extensive list of references at the end of each chapter helps provide directions for further study. Lastly, readers are left with inspiration to develop their own insights on these complex diseases that affect so many patients worldwide."—©Doody’s Review Service, 2024, Nara Michaelson, MD (Massachusetts General Hospital)
