OCT Angiography in Retinal and Macular Diseases

Abstract

This is a very brief book on ocular tumors. It really is a well illustrated outline. As such, it is not a textbook for a comprehensive view.Rather, it is a quick reference guide concentrating on the fundamentals of the tumor. The book is organized in a traditional fashion, with chapters on uveal melanocytic tumors; uveal nonmelanocytic tumors; intraocular vascular tumors, metastatic tumors, lymphoma; RPE tumors; astrocytic tumors; neuro-ocular-cutaneous syndromes; and retinoblastoma. There are two editors and seven contributing authors, providing a sound level ofexpertise. Each chapter begins with an abstract and then proceeds with breadth in the area. However, the brevity of the book does not allow great depth. This is very purposeful and sacrificing depth for ease of assimilation or quick reference is reasonable. It is very well illustrated, but not profusely so. Again, brevity is a virtue here and dictates context. But the illustrations very much complement the pointed prose and definitely enhance the intended purpose of the book. This is an excellent entry level book. Residents should love it. Attendings who
