See efferent pupillary defect Adie's syndrome pupil light reflex.Īmaurotic pupil Miotic pupil that does not react to direct and consensual ipsilateral light stimulation, but does react consensually to contralateral stimulation. myotonic pupil pupillotonia tonic pupil (some authors use this last term when the cause is known and Adie's pupil when the cause is unidentified). Other causes include temporal arteritis in elderly patients, syphilis or diabetes. It may be due to a disease of, or injury to, the ciliary ganglion or to the short ciliary nerves. The condition is usually unilateral, with the affected pupil being the larger of the two (anisocoria). The reaction of the pupil to a near target is also delayed and slow. See acorea anisocoria corectopia dicoria dyscoria hippus iridectomy microcoria miosis dilator pupillae muscle sphincter pupillae muscle mydriasis Edinger-Westphal nucleus polycoria polyopia pupil light reflex.Īdie's pupil A pupil in which the reactions to light, direct or consensual, are almost abolished, with a reaction occurring only after prolonged exposure to light or dark.
