182. Adverse effects of apraclonidine used in the diagnosis of Horner syndrome in infants. (Abstract)
Adverse effects of apraclonidine used in the diagnosis of Horner syndrome in infants. Apraclonidine, a selective alpha(2)-agonist, was developed to lower intraocular pressure and minimize the systemic side effects associated with the use of its parent drug, clonidine.(1) An investigation of the site of action of apraclonidine incidentally uncovered a reversal of anisocoria in patients with absent sympathetic innervation of one pupil (Horner syndrome) due to its alpha(1)-effect on a pupil

hour later.Apraclonidine caused a mean dilation of 2.04 mm (range 1--4.5) (p<0.001) in the pupils with OSP and it caused pupillary constriction in the control eyes with a mean change of -0.14 mm (range 0.5 to --1) (p<0.05). It caused reversal of anisocoria in all HS cases. Its effects on both pupil diameters and upper lid levels differed significantly between the groups (p<0.001). The mean elevation in the upper lid was 1.75 mm (range 1--4) in the OSP group (p<0.001) and 0.61 mm (range 0--3

Efficacy of apraclonidine 0.5% in the diagnosis of Horner syndrome in pediatric patients under low or high illumination. To evaluate the efficacy and safety of apraclonidine 0.5% in the diagnosis of Horner syndrome in pediatric patients.Prospective, interventional case series.Ten pediatric patients with a diagnosis of Horner syndrome and 10 age-matched controls with physiologic anisocoria underwent pharmacological testing with apraclonidine. The difference between the pupil diameters of both (...) ). Three patients with Horner syndrome showed positive values (reversal of anisocoria) only under high ambient illumination, but not under low illumination. There was no statistical difference in the mean differences in pupil diameter before and after apraclonidine testing in the control group. Conjunctival hyperemia was noted in two patients with Horner syndrome and in three patients in the control group. No systemic adverse effects were noted during the examination or were reported by patients

of pupillotonia (small dark diameters, large light diameters, tonic near responses, attenuated light responses with light-near dissociation, and sector palsy). However, significant differences were found in the prevalence and magnitude of several pupil variables in the two patient groups. In particular, sector palsy and anisocoria exceeding 1 mm (in the light) were seen much more commonly in Holmes-Adie patients than patients with generalised neuropathy. The presence of both these pupil signs can be used

188. Pupillary dilation lag is intermittently present in patients with a stable oculosympathetic defect (Horner syndrome). (Abstract)
Pupillary dilation lag is intermittently present in patients with a stable oculosympathetic defect (Horner syndrome). To examine the repeatability of detecting pupillary dilation lag in patients with Horner syndrome.Retrospective interventional study.Single referral institution.Fifteen patients with unilateral Horner syndrome and 16 subjects with physiologic anisocoria. Intervention procedure: Each subject underwent four pupillometric recordings in darkness. The asymmetry of pupillodilation (...) between the two eyes was calculated as the change in anisocoria between five seconds and 15 seconds in darkness. Pupillary dilation lag was considered present if the asymmetry measured > or =0.4 mm.Asymmetry of pupillodilation over four determinations.All subjects demonstrated fluctuations in the calculated asymmetry of pupillodilation. Eight patients (53%) with Horner syndrome demonstrated dilation lag on the first determination; 13 patients (87%) eventually demonstrated it during four

Bilateral posterior dislocation of the crystalline lens after a head injury sustained during a seizure. This article presents a case of bilateral posterior dislocations of the crystalline lens in a patient with epilepsy who presented with reduced vision and anisocoria 2 weeks after having sustained head injuries during a seizure. The possibility of lens dislocation was raised only at this time, and subsequently confirmed on computed tomography. Such patients may require prompt referral

flashlight test, whereas the normal eye will both constrict normally and show a normal consensual response. It can be hard to perform the test accurately. Examiner bias, light position variability, and difficulty observing both eyes, dark irises, pre-existing anisocoria, small pupils and the presence of efferent defects may make it difficult to detect asymmetry. In glaucoma an RAPD indicates that there is more optic nerve damage in one eye than in the other, even if the visual acuity in both eyes (...) ) to their near point (about an arm's length away) and observe the pupillary reflex when their fixation shifts to the near target. A normal test shows a brisk constriction. In near-light dissociation, the patient has a better pupillary near reflex than light reflex. Pupillary abnormalities [ ] Pupillary disorders may involve the afferent pathways (RAPD) or the efferent pathways. Anisocoria, where not physiological, indicates a problem of the efferent pupillary pathway, either parasympathetic or sympathetic

and possibly a ptosis too. Horner's syndrome is a very good lateralising sign but a poor localising sign. The Argyll Robertson's pupil is small, does not react to light, but constricts on accommodation. If it is bilateral, the pupils are frequently unequal in size (anisocoria). Argyll Robertson's pupils are almost always related to neurosyphilis but similar pupils are occasionally found in diabetic neuropathy and in some hereditary neuropathies. The myotonic pupil (Holmes-Adie syndrome) reacts very slowly

Pupils Look at their relative size - if you suspect anisocoria (different-sized pupils), stand back from the patient, darken the room and look through the ophthalmoscope. You can elicit the red reflex in both eyes and compare the size of these directly rather than shifting from one to the other close up. Look for change in shape (typically oval in acute angle-closure glaucoma, asymmetry in a penetrating
