Abnormal reactions of pupil Lamyaa Anwar AlGhafli 211523025
Objectives 1- Pupil. 2- Normal Pupil Reactions. 3- Anisocoria Vs Isocoria . 4- abnormally shaped pupil. 5- Abnormalities of pupil.
pupil Hole located in the center of the iris of the eye that allows light to strike the retina . Control the amount of light entering the eye via contraction ( miosis ) and dilation ( mydriasis ) under the autonomic nervous system . Normal size of pupil ranges from 1-8 mm.
Normal Pupil Reactions
Normal Pupil Reactions
Normal Pupil Reactions
Abnormal pupils
abnormally shaped pupil Features: Deviation from round pupil. Differential diagnosis: C ongenital defects ( eg , coloboma ), iris inflammation or trauma. A fixed oval pupil, severe pain , red eye, cloudy cornea and systemic malaise acute angle closure glaucoma.
Abnormalities of pupil They include ocular disorders and neurologic disorders .
1-Isocoria with Normal Pupil Size A- Relative Afferent Pupillary Defect Causes: Unilateral sensory disorder such as retinal detachment, neuritis of the optic nerve, atrophy of the optic nerve, or retinal vascular occlusion . B- Bilateral Afferent Pupillary Defect Causes: Bilateral sensory disorder such as maculopathy or atrophy of the optic nerve .
2- Anisocoria with Dilated Pupil in the Affected Eye A- Complete Oculomotor Palsy Causes: 1- Processes in the base of the skull such as tumors, aneurysms, inflammation or bleeding. 2- Processes in the area of the superior orbital fissure or apex of the orbit. Diagnostic considerations: 1- L ight reflexes: No constriction in the affected eye. 2- Near reflex: absent. 3- Impaired motility and double vision .
2- Anisocoria with Dilated Pupil in the Affected Eye B- Tonic Pupil Causes: Postganglionic damage to the parasympathetic pathway, that occurs with DM, alcoholism, viral infection and trauma . Diagnostic considerations:
2- Anisocoria with Dilated Pupil in the Affected Eye C- Iris Defects Causes: Trauma , Secondary to acute angle closure glaucoma, Synechiae (post- iritis or postoperative) D- Following Eyedrop Application By asymmetrical supranuclear inhibition of the Edinger – Westphal nucleus.
3- Anisocoria with a Constricted Pupil in the Affected Eye A- Horner Syndrome Causes : Damage to the sympathetic pathway. 1- Central (first neuron): Tumors, Encephalitis 2- Peripheral (second neuron): Same the central, Trauma , Rhinopharyngeal tumors, Goiter, Aneurysm. 3- Peripheral in the strict sense (third neuron): Vascular processes, Internal carotid aneurysm.
3- Anisocoria with a Constricted Pupil in the Affected Eye Clinical picture: SAMPLE
3- Anisocoria with a Constricted Pupil in the Affected Eye Peripheral Horner syndrome. On the affected side, there is slight mydriasis On the unaffected side , there is significant mydriasis . Central Horner syndrome. On both, the pupils are dilated . B- Following Eyedrop Application Unilateral Administration of a Miotic as in Glaucoma Therapy.
4 - Isocoria with Constricted Pupils A- Argyll Robertson Pupil: Causes: The precise location of the lesion is not known. Diagnostic considerations: 1- The pupil is not roundand and constriction is not always symmetrical. 2 - There is no reaction to darkness or pharmacologic stimuli.
4 - Isocoria with Constricted Pupils B- Bilateral Pupillary Constriction due to Pharmacologic Agents Causes: Morphine, Deep general anesthesia. C- Toxic Bilateral Pupillary Constriction Causes: mushroom poisoning. D- Inflammatory Bilateral Pupillary Constriction Causes: Encephalitis, Meningitis
5 - Isocoria with Dilated Pupils A- Parinaud Oculoglandular Syndrome Causes: Tumors such as pineal gland tumors. Diagnostic considerations: 1- Fixed dilated pupils. 2- Normal near reflex. 3- Limited upward gaze and retraction nystagmus.
summary 1- Isocoria : the problem in afferent pathway Anisocoria : the problem in efferent pathway 2- Direct light response, Swinging flashlight test and accommodation test are important tests to assess the pupil. 3- Disorders cause isocoria : Argyll Robertson Pupil and Parinaud Oculoglandular Syndrome. Disorders cause anisocoria : Complete Oculomotor Palsy, Tonic Pupil and Horner Syndrome.
