Argyll Robertson pupil

Argyll Robertson pupil is named after him.

Subtle shivering, minor defects in speech and Argyll Robertson pupil may become noticeable.

Also called Argyll Robertson pupil.

It was the classic Argyll Robertson pupil, Dr Daruwalla decided.

He also described a symptom of neurosyphilis that affects the pupils of the eye, which is known today as Argyll Robertson pupils.

Brainstem causes of light-near dissociation include Argyll Robertson pupil and Parinaud syndrome.

If there is a small, irregular pupil that constricts poorly to light, but normally to accommodation, this is an Argyll Robertson pupil.

Also, there may be Argyll Robertson pupils, which are bilateral small pupils that constrict when the person focuses on near objects, but do not constrict when exposed to bright light.

In ophthalmology, a pupillary response to light is differentiated from a pupillary response to focus (i.e. pupils may constrict on near focus, as with the Argyll Robertson pupil) in the diagnosis of tertiary syphilis.

Dr Daruwalla was trying to spot a fourth symptom, a rarity in congenital syphilis - the Argyll Robertson pupil is much more common in syphilis acquired later in life - and the doctor had cleverly thought of a way to examine the old man without his knowledge.

The diagnosis could be differentiated from other known psychoses and dementias by a characteristic abnormality in eye pupil reflexes (Argyll Robertson pupil), and, eventually, the development of muscular reflex abnormalities, seizures, memory impairment (dementia) and other signs of relatively pervasive neurocerebral deterioration.

Farrokh recalled his favorite professor of infectious diseases, Herr Doktor Fritz Meitner; Dr Meitner was fond of telling his medical students that the best, way to remember the behavior of the Argyll Robertson pupil was to think of a prostitute: she accommodates, but doesn't react.
