Failure of the papillary reflex to respond to light. A diagnostic sign of general paresis.<\/p>\n
A condition of the eye, in which the lens is able to focus but the pupil does not react to light. It is a symptom of tertiary syphilis or of locomotor ataxia.<\/p>\n
A disorder of the eyes, common to several diseases of the central nervous system, in which the pupillary (light) reflex is absent. Although the pupils contract normally for near vision, they fail to contract in bright light.<\/p>\n
A condition in which the pupils contract when the eyes converge on a near object, but fail to contract when a bright light falls on the eye. It is found in several diseases, especially in locomotor ataxia and neurosyphilis, an advanced manifestation of syphilis.<\/p>\n
A symptom often present in paralysis and locomotor ataxia (due to syphilis), in which the fight reflex is absent but there is no change in the power of contraction during accommodation. Usually bilateral.<\/p>\n
A pupil of the eye that does not constrict when exposed to light but does constrict when the eye attempts to focus on nearby objects. Occasionally, this condition is observed in individuals afflicted with syphilis.<\/p>\n
