NEUROPATHIC TONIC PUPILS Meaning and Definition

1. Neuropathic tonic pupils refer to a medical condition characterized by abnormal changes in the size of the pupils due to dysfunction or damage in the nerves that control the muscles of the pupils.

   The term "neuropathic" signifies that the underlying cause of the condition is related to nerve dysfunction or damage.

   "Tonic" indicates a sustained or prolonged change in the size of the pupils. In this context, it implies that the pupils may remain abnormally constricted (miosis) or dilated (mydriasis) for an extended period rather than reflexively changing in response to light or other stimuli.

   Pupils are the black circular openings in the center of the eyes that allow light to enter. They are controlled by the muscles of the iris, which adjusts the size of the pupils to regulate the amount of light entering the eyes.

   Neuropathic tonic pupils commonly occur as a result of damage to the parasympathetic nerves that innervate the iris muscles, leading to abnormal constriction (miosis) that is typically not influenced by changes in light. It can also result from damage to the sympathetic nerves that cause an abnormal dilation (mydriasis) of the pupils.

   Causes of neuropathic tonic pupils can include diabetes, trauma to the eye or head, certain infections, tumors, autoimmune diseases, or toxicity from drugs or chemicals. The physical examination and additional tests are necessary to determine the cause and appropriate treatment for the condition.
