Title Buzzing Sympathetic Nerves: A New Test to Enhance Reflex Pupil Dilation in Suspected Horner Syndrome
Creator Rawan Omary, Randy Kardon, Christopher Bockisch, Klara Landau, Konrad Weber
Subject Diagnostic Tests (ERG, VER, OCT, HRT, mfERG, etc); Eyelid & Adnexal Disease; Neuro-Ophth & Systyemic Disease ( eg. MS, MG, Thyroid)
Description Patients with suspected Horner syndrome and equivocal pupil dilation lag and pharmacologic testing might undergo unnecessary; MR imaging. Our purpose was to increase the diagnostic sensitivity of pupillometry by accentuating sympathetic innervation to the; iris dilator by surface electrical stimulation of the median nerve using a standard electromyography machine. We hypothesized that; any difference in sympathetic innervation to the right and left eye would be accentuated.
