A

pupillary light reflex, near response accommodation

30
Q

A patient presents with light-near dissociation with sparing of his near response of accommodation. He also has small pupils of irregular size. He is found to have this disease: __________.
This pattern of sparing suggests bilateral damage to ______________.

A

tabes dorsalis (neurosyphilis), olivary pretectal nuclei or their projections

31
Q

The pupillary light reflex involves these 6 structures in order:

A

optic nerve, optic tract, pretectal area, E-W nuclei, ciliary ganglion, pupillary sphincter muscle

32
Q

The pupil constriction in accommodation near response is carried out by these 10 structures in order:

A

optic nerve, optic tract, LGN of thalamus, primary visual cortex, association visual cortex, supraocculomotor area, E-W nuclei, ciliary ganglion, pupillary sphincter muscle

33
Q

light-near dissociation with loss of pupillary light reflex but sparing of near accommodation is found in these 3 diseases:

34
Q

Marcus Gunn Pupil is observed during this test:

A

swinging flashlight test
