Marc Rousseaux, MD, PhD Charles Benaim, MD Francois Cassim, MD Background and Purpose This study describes unilateral increases of sweating reactions observed in the months after contralateral medullary infarct; evaluation of sympathetic cutaneous response may help to explain sweating disorders. Summary of Report After the discovery of the clinical phenomenon in one case, patients admitted between 1990 and 1993 were systematically evaluated clinically and electrophysiologically. In a group of five patients presenting with lateral or dorsal medullary lesions, two exhibited an increase of contralateral sweating

Slightly unequal pupils A slight inequality in pupil size is frequently seen without any associated pathology. If there is no ptosis or other symptoms present, then all that is usually required is see if the condition develops further over time. One large pupil 3rd cranial nerve palsy When a single large pupil is associated with complete ptosis this indicates 3rd cranial nerve palsy. Patient may also report diplopia when lid is lifted. Involvement of the pupil in this way suggests that the 3rd cranial nerve is impinged upon at some point. Patient should be referred urgently to a neurologist. Adie's pupil An enlarged, irregular pupil in a young adult is characteristically an Adie's pupil. It is most readily apparent in bright light when the other pupil constricts and may present as an emergency with patient fearing a stroke. There may occasionally be a history of herpes zoster ophthalmicus Loss of constriction may cause some degree of photophobia and problems with reading. Neurological examination may also reveal loss of reflexes in legs (

The VDRL has a poor sensitivity and is only positive in 30 to 60% of patients, but it is extremely specific. Although the CSF FTA can be falsely positive from leakage in from the blood, a negative CSF FTA effectively excludes neurosyphilis. The treatment is high-dose, parenteral penicillin for 10 to 14 days or procaine penicillin 2.4 million units intramuscularly once a day, plus probenecid, for two weeks. Wernicke's encephalopathy is a complication of chronic alcoholism, which is characterized by ophthalmoplegia, ataxia, and a confusional state. Pupillary abnormalities include anisocoria and sometimes a sluggish reaction to light. The most common ocular symptoms are nystagmus, abducens nerve palsy, and horizontal or combined horizontal-vertical gaze palsy. Holmes-Adie's syndrome is a manifestation of a benign familial disorder that primarily affects young women and is associated with depressed deep-tendon reflexes, segmental anhydrosis, orthostatic hypotension, and pupillary involvement. The involvement is a unilaterally enlarged pupil, which is poorly reactive to light and accommodation. This is due to degeneration of the ciliary ganglion. Diabetes mellitus is unlikely to produce pupillary involvement, and decreased reflexes are unlikely in multiple sclerosis.

Extractions: Alcmeón, Revista Argentina de Clínica Neuropsiquiátrica, vol. 8, Nº 1, junio de 1999, págs. 42 a 50. Sumario: A continuación de la extensa revisión sobre la musculatura extrínseca de los ojos y su relación con enfermedades nerviosas y mentales y con la acción de algunos neuro-psicofármacos que fuera publicada en Alcmeón recientemente, se agrega esta breve discusión acerca de la importancia de la musculatura intrínseca de los ojos en el diagnóstico de enfermedades neuropsiquiátricas, prestando especial atención al comportamiento de las pupilas. Se formulan observaciones de carácter anatómico y fisiológico, se comenta la influencia de los agentes sistémicos sobre las pupilas y los cambios que tienen lugar en ellas a consecuencia de las enfermedades neuropsiquiátricas, haciendo hincapié en el diagnóstico diferencial de dos de los síndromes pupilares más importantes: el de la pupila rígida (Argyll Robertson) y el de la pupila tónica (Adie-Holmes). Summary: We continue our recent review paper about Eye Movements and Neuropsychiatrical Diseases with this short discussion about the intrinsic muscles and the shape, size and reactivity of the pupils. We make a review of the anatomy and physiology of the pupils, the influence of systemic agents producing mydriasis and miosis and the occurrence of pupillary changes in relation with nervous and mental diseases. Finally, we summarize the differences between the rigid and the tonic pupil.
One Pupil Gets Big And The Other Small There is however a syndrome called holmes adie, which is congenital. It manifestsitself by periods where pupil size is markedly different; and is usually http://www.ecstasy.org/qanda/q53.html
Extractions: I have rolled many times, and every time i get a strange reaction. The pupils in my eyes change shape. On my left eye it becomes very small, and on my right eye is becomes very big. It doesb't hurt, or change my vision in any way. What do you think it is from, and is it dangerous to my body? Very interesting. In the context of unconsciousness, uneven pupils are an extremely serious neurological sign and imply life threatening pressure on one side of the brain, but this is clearly not the case here. There is however a syndrome called holmes adie, which is congenital. It manifests itself by periods where pupil size is markedly different; and is usually accompanied by poor or absent reflexes in both arms and legs. !t is entirely benign, and I would hazard a guess that for some reason the E brings out the pupil assymetry. I suggest that the lack of reflexes is confirmed; because if this is the case what you are pinning down is yet another central effect of e "in vivo". If this person doesn't have holmes adie, I have nothing else to suggest. However, if it's been going on for a long time (and pupil responses are otherwise normal) it's likely to be harmless.

The rise in intraocular pressure caused by suxamethonium alone is brief, lasting for a few minutes. The bradycardia is caused by activation of muscarinic receptors. Phase II block does exhibit the characteristics of non-depolarising block but is not reversed by anticholinesterases. Question 2 A. true B. false C. true D. false E. true There is insignificant binding to plasma proteins. Hypokalaemia may precipitate digitalis toxicity. All forms of heart block have been recorded in digitalis toxicity. Question 3 A. false B. false C. true D. true E. true Flow = [Pressure difference x Pi x (fourth power of radius)] / [8 x length x VISCOSITY]. Also don't forget that Flow = Pressure difference/RESISTANCE. Blood viscosity depends on haematocrit. If the radius of a vessel is doubled, resistance will fall to 6% of its previous value.

Entsprechend sind bisher auch keine "Arztbesuche" via Internet möglich. Hiergegen sprechen nicht nur ganz erhebliche juristische Bedenken, für eine ärztliche Behandlung ist immer noch ein persönlicher Kontakt entscheidend. Für die Diagnosenstellung benötigt ihr Arzt alle seine fünf Sinne. Apparative Befunde wie Röntgenbilder oder Laborwerte lassen sich inzwischen per Internet gut übermitteln, zur Stellung einer Diagnose bleiben sie weiterhin nur Hilfsmittel, die ausschließlich in einem Gesamtzusammenhang eine Bedeutung haben. Die meisten Diagnosen werden im ärztlichen Untersuchungsgespräch (Anamnese) gestellt. Auch jede Behandlung muss auf das Individuum abgestimmt werden.
