Pupil cycle time and early autonomic involvement in ocular leprosy.
Ocular complications of leprosy patients often develop insidiously and with few if any symptoms. This study involves measurement of the pupil cycle time (PCT) to evaluate the autonomic nerve system of the iris to determine the presence of subclinical intraocular involvement. The study included 19 lepromatous (LL), 19 borderline lepromatous (BL), and five borderline tuberculoid (BT) leprosy pati...
متن کاملOcular autonomic dysfunction and intraocular pressure in leprosy.
We examined 241 leprosy patients and 135 age-matched healthy controls in central South Korea, measuring intraocular pressure in the supine and the upright positions and measuring the size of the pupils in darkness as an indication of ocular autonomic dysfunction. The mean intraocular pressure was significantly lower in the patients and the mean size of pupils was significantly smaller in the pa...
متن کاملEdge-light pupil cycle time.
A thin slit-lamp beam illuminating the pupil margin produces clearly visible pupil oscillations. These oscillations can be timed with a stopwatch, thus producing a measurement of the "edge-light" pupil cycle time'. The pupil cycle time is remarkably stable in various testing situations and is repeatable within about +/- 3% over extended periods of time. Expected normal distribution and 95% con...

A thin slit-lamp beam illuminating the pupil margin produces clearly visible pupil oscillations. These oscillations can be timed with a stopwatch, thus producing a measurement of the 'edge-light pupil cycle time'. The pupil cycle time is remarkably stable in various testing situations and is repeatable within about ±3% over extended periods of time. Expected normal distribution and 95 % confide...
متن کاملXANTHOMA WITH OCULAR AND CARDIOVASCULAR INVOLVEMENT IN A BOY
In this report, a 10 year old boy with both tendinous and tuberous xanthoma is presented. Premature corneal arcus and aortic stensosis were associated findings in this case. Tuberous and tendinous xanthomas are two clinical varieties of one disease, both of which are seen in type II hyperlipoproteinemia. Increased serum cholesterol with pathological findings of skin lesions with oculocardia...
