The Pupil

ABSTRACT

Pupil examination is a lost art and too often ignored. The spectrum of pupillary test and abnormalities will be reviewed, including pupillary light testing; afferent defects; differential diagnosis of simple anisocoria; the clinical dilemma of the "dilated pupil"; tonic pupil syndromes; Horner's syndrome and other causes of relative miosis; pharmacological testing procedures. A brief review of pertinent anatomy will be included. (AU)
