ABSTRACT

-In this brief commentary, I recount the entry of neurologists into the field of neuro-ophthalmology, which was previously regarded as exclusively within the purview of ophthalmology. I then quickly describe the difference between "oculomotor" and "ocular motor," before summarizing "ophthalmoplegic migraine," a rare condition with a rich history that engendered a heated debate among legendary neurological luminaries in 1946.
