Afferent pupillary defect in pineal region tumour.
A patient is described in whom an afferent pupillary defect was an early sign of a tumour in the pineal region. It is suggested that this was due to involvement of the pupillary afferent fibres between the optic tract and pretectal nucleus contralateral to the affected pupil.
متن کاملThe afferent pupillary defect in acute optic neuritis.
Twenty-two patients with acute optic neuritis were studied by the techniques of infrared pupillometry and visual evoked responses (VER) to pattern reversal. A relative afferent pupillary defect was found in all cases and the magnitude of this defect was found to be related to the amplitude, but not to the latency, of the VER. During follow-up the afferent defect was found to remain persistently...
متن کاملIsolated relative afferent pupillary defect secondary to contralateral midbrain compression.
BACKGROUND Relative afferent pupillary defects are typically related to ipsilateral lesions within the anterior visual pathways. OBJECTIVE To describe a patient who had a workup for headache and was found to have an isolated left relative afferent pupillary defect without any other neurological findings. DESIGN We review the neuroanatomy of the pupillary light reflex pathway and emphasize t...
متن کاملHow to test for a relative afferent pupillary defect (RAPD)
Light source The ‘swinging light test’ is used to detect a relative afferent pupil defect (RAPD): a means of detecting differences between the two eyes in how they respond to a light shone in one eye at a time. The test can be very useful for detecting unilateral or asymmetrical disease of the retina or optic nerve (but only optic nerve disease that occurs in front of the optic chiasm). The phy...
متن کاملFocal loss volume best differentiates eyes with afferent pupillary defect
Purpose: To quantify the specificity and sensitivity of RTVue-100, Optovue parameters at determining the presence of a relative afferent pupillary defect (RAPD) by coupling their values with the instrument normative data base (NDB) and the presence of a RAPD. To generate the distribution for the focal loss volume (FLV) percentage, by coupling its value to the instrument NDB and presence of a RA...
