•trauma
•Glaucoma
Papilloedema
•

•
Disc swelling secondary to raised
ICP
Haemorrhages
Headache
– Worse in the morning
– Valsalva manouver
Nausea and projectile vomiting
Horizontal diplopia (VI palsy)
Causes
Disc pallor
– Space occupying lesion
– Intracranial hypertension
• Idiopathic
• Drugs
• Endocrine
Vessel attenuation
– Severe hypertension
Blurred optic
disc margin
CWS
Small optic
cup
Pupils
• First Order – Retina to Pretectal Nucleus in B/S
(at level of Superior colliculus)
• Second Order – Pretectal nucleus to E/W nucleus
(bilateral innervation!)
• Third Order – E/W nucleus to Ciliary Ganglion
• Fourth Order – Ciliary Ganglion to Sphincter
pupillae (via short ciliary nerves)
Pupil
• Constricted (mioisis)
– Sympathetic
(pupillodilator)
denervation
– Drugs
• Pilocarpine
• Morphine
• Dilated (mydriasis)
– Parasympathetic
(pupilloconstrictor)
denervation
– Lesion of the third CN
– Drugs
• Atropine
• Cocaine
Horner’s
• Oculosympathetic
paresis
–

Ptosis
Miosis
Ipsilateral anhidrosis
Does not dilate with
cocaine 4%
Sympathetic Pathway
• First Order – Posterior Hypothalamus to
Ciliospinal centre of Budge (C8-T2)
(Uncrossed in Brainstem)
• Second Order – Ciliospinal centre of Budge to
Superior Cervical Ganaglion
• Third Order – Superior Cervical Ganglion to
dilator pupillae muscle. (Close to
ICA and joins V1 intracranially)
Internal Carotid Dissection
Herpes
Zoster
Otitis Media
Tolosa-Hunt Sy.
CVA
Tumour
Pancoast bronchogenic carcinoma
Causes of Horner’s pupil
• Central – B/S lesions (tumours, vascular and MS)
Syringomyelia, Lat. Med. Syn., S.C. ca.
• Preganglionic – Pancoast tumour, Carotid & Aortic
aneurysms, Neck lesions/trauma.
• Postganglionic – Cluster headaches, Nasopharyngeal
tumours, Otitis media, Cavernous
sinus mass and ICA disease.
• Miscellaneous – Congenital (brachial plexus injury)
Idiopathic.
Afferent & efferent defects
• Argyll-Robertson
pupil
– Small, irreg
– Does not react to light
– Reacts to
accommodation
– Causes
• syphilis
• diabetes
• Miotonic pupil (Adie’s
syndrome)
– Dilated
– Poor response to light and
convergence.
• Constricts with weak
Pilocarpine
• Holmes-Adie syndrome
– Reduced tendon reflexes
(Knee, ankle)
- Orthostatic hypotension
Ocular motility abnormalities
• Third nerve palsy

Double vision
Eye turned down & out
Ptosis
Dilated pupil &
headache
• Compressive lesion
• Sixth nerve palsy
– Double vision
– Eye turned in
Cranial Nerve Palsies
Looking straight ahead
Posterior communicating artery aneurysm
Chiasma
Posterior cerebral
artery
III CN
Internuclear Ophthalmoplegia
• Defective adduction of the
ipsilateral eye
• Nystagmus of the contralateral
(abducting) eye
• NORMAL CONVERGENCE
• Causes
– Young patients
• Bilateral
• Demyelination
– Older patients
• Unilateral
• Vascular, tumours
Myasthenia Gravis
•

Fatigability
Double vision
Lid twitch
Ptosis
Normal reflexes &
sensation
INVESTIGATIONS MG
ACh
Anti AChR Ab’s
AChR
• Anti ACh receptor Ab’s
• Electromyography
• Tensilon test
– Edrophonium blocks
acetyl-cholinesterase
– Beware of cholinergic
cardiac effects. Use
with Atropine 0.6mg
• Thoracic CT and MRI to
rule out thymoma
Localising the lesion
• Monocular visual field defects indicate
lesions anterior to the optic chiasm
• Bitemporal defects are the hallmark of
chiasmal lesions
• Binocular homonymous hemianopia result
from lesions in the contralateral
postchiasmal region
• Binocular quadrantanopias reflect optic
tract lesions
