  2. Parinaud's syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parinaud's_syndrome

    Parinaud's syndrome is a cluster of abnormalities of eye movement and pupil dysfunction, characterized by: Paralysis of upwards gaze: Downward gaze is usually preserved. This vertical palsy is supranuclear , so doll's head maneuver should elevate the eyes, but eventually all upward gaze mechanisms fail.

  3. Argyll Robertson pupil - Wikipedia

    A third cause of light-near dissociation is Parinaud syndrome, also called dorsal midbrain syndrome. This uncommon syndrome involves vertical gaze palsy associated with pupils that “accommodate but do not react." [5] The causes of Parinaud syndrome include brain tumors (pinealomas), multiple sclerosis and brainstem infarction.

  4. Parinaud's oculoglandular syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parinaud's_oculoglandular...

    Parinaud's oculoglandular syndrome (POS) is a medical condition characterized by a specific set of symptoms affecting the eye and nearby lymph nodes. Named after the French ophthalmologist Henri Parinaud , it should not be confused with the neurological syndrome caused by a lesion in the midbrain which is also known as Parinaud's syndrome .

  5. Pinealoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinealoma

    Frequently, paralysis of upward gaze along with several ocular findings such as convergence retraction nystagmus and eyelid retraction also known as Collier's sign and Light Near Dissociation (pupil accommodates but doesn't react to light) are known collectively as Parinaud's syndrome [1] or Dorsal Mid-brain syndrome, are the only physical ...

  6. Accommodative excess - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accommodative_excess

    Parinaud's syndrome, which can mimic some aspects of spasm of the near reflex, such as excessive accommodation and convergence; however, pupillary near-light dissociation, not miosis, is a feature of Parinaud's syndrome. [8]

  7. Convergence insufficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convergence_insufficiency

    The symptoms and signs associated with convergence insufficiency are related to prolonged, visually demanding, near-centered tasks. They may include, but are not limited to, diplopia (double vision), asthenopia (eye strain), transient blurred vision, difficulty sustaining near-visual function, abnormal fatigue, headache, and abnormal postural adaptation, among others.

  8. Relative afferent pupillary defect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_afferent_pupillar...

    When the test is performed in an eye with an afferent pupillary defect, light directed in the affected eye will cause only mild constriction of both pupils (due to decreased response to light from the afferent defect), while light in the unaffected eye will cause a normal constriction of both pupils (due to an intact efferent path, and an ...

  9. Heterophoria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterophoria

    The cross-cover test, or alternating cover test is usually employed to detect heterophoria. One eye is covered, and then the cover is moved immediately over to the other eye. With heterophoria, when the cover is moved to the other eye, the eye that has just been uncovered can be seen to move from a deviated point.
