Pupil Disorders, Is Pharmacological Testing Necessary?
نویسنده
چکیده
1. Disorders of the iris sphincter that may require pharmacologic testing — cholinergic super-sensitivity vs. under-sensitivity: When evaluating an anisocoria that increases in bright light and decreases in dim light, attention usually shifts toward the pupil that is larger in bright light to determine if a paresis of the iris sphincter paresis is present. The causes are either from denervation of the iris sphincter, blockade of the cholinergic receptors, or damage to the iris sphincter itself.

Scatter of test points can be controlled only by careful attention to numerous details involving p...

A 53-year-old patient with Guillain-Barré syndrome preceded by herpes simplex virus infection developed bilateral tonic pupils with light-near dissociation.
