Sternutatio (sneeze) is a poorly understood polysynaptic physiologic reflex phenomenon; even less are some variations of the such as photic sneeze (photo-sternutatory reflex), sneezing induced by bright light, overeating, plucking eyebrows (palpebro-sternutatory reflex) and paroxysmal sneezing, episodes intractable sneezing.

Photic sneeze reflex in nephropathic cystinosis.
Photic induced sneeze is a reflex that occurs in certain individuals after exposure to bright light. Cystinosis is an autosomal recessive inborn error of metabolism in which nonprotein cystine accumulates within lysosomes. The pathognomonic ocular manifestation of cystinosis is corneal crystal deposition. We observed photic induced sneezes during ophthalmoscopic examination in five of 19 patien...
متن کاملThe photic sneeze.
Sneezing once or twice in response to bright light has been observed and described by several authors in the last four decades.'-5 Sedan observed that people sneezed in response to the beam of his ophthalmoscope. He described 6 cases of sneezing in response to ophthalmoscope light, sun, photographic flash and Wood's ultraviolet light.2 Sneezing occurred at the beginning of exposure of the retin...
متن کاملCentral pathway of photic reflex myoclonus.
Direct, new evidence for the cortical origin of photic reflex myoclonus in a patient with "posterior cortical atrophy" is provided. Photic stimulation elicited myoclonic jerks in the right upper limb muscles. An H2(15)O-PET activation study with photic stimulation showed increased regional cerebral blood flow not only in both striate cortices but in the left premotor and primary motor areas as ...

PURPOSE To examine whether the early response of photic blink reflex (PBR) is spared in patients with Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON). METHODS Twenty-six patients with bilateral optic neuropathy (visual acuity < or = 0.1) and central scotomata were divided into LHON group with one of three mitochondrial DNA mutations at nucleotide position of 3460, 11778, or 14484 and non-LHON grou...
متن کاملWhen the Sun Prickles Your Nose: An EEG Study Identifying Neural Bases of Photic Sneezing

This study presents the first scientific examination of this phenomenon, called 'the photic sneeze reflex'. METHODOLOGY AND PRINCIPAL FINDINGS In the present experiment, 'photic sneezers' and controls were exposed to a standard checkerboard stimulus (block 1) an...
