Background: There are limited objective methods when it comes to identifying and diagnosing concussion. Pupil assessment is performed routinely as a standard-of-care following traumatic brain injury (TBI). Unlike the highly subjective and limited reliability of pupil assessment using penlights and flashlights, Quantitative pupillometry (QP) is an established, valid, and reliable method of pupillary assessment.

Background: Abnormal pupillary reactivity is a neurological emergency requiring prompt evaluation to identify its underlying causes. Although isolated unilateral mydriasis without accompanying neurological abnormalities is rare, it has occasionally been associated with nebulizer use. We aimed to quantitatively assess pupillary changes using a pupillometer in cases of isolated mydriasis, which has not been described in previous studies.

A 10-year-old male neutered crossbreed dog and an 8-year-old female neutered greyhound presented after peracute onset of cerebellar dysfunction. The crossbreed dog had anisocoria with the left pupil being mydriatic, spontaneous conjugate rotatory nystagmus with fast phase to the left and delayed postural reactions on the left side. The greyhound had anisocoria with the left pupil being mydriatic, right positional ventral strabismus, absent menace response in the left eye and postural reaction deficits on the left side.

Article Synopsis
  • * Surgical procedures to manage excessive sweating, like endoscopic transthoracic sympathectomy, can lead to complications such as Horner syndrome, though less frequently in sympathotomy surgeries; the incidence of Horner syndrome post-operation is usually low and often reversible.
  • * The report details a rare case of persistent Horner syndrome after a bilateral sympathotomy intended to treat hyperhidrosis, highlighting the unusual nature of this complication and its considerations for surgical practice and patient advice.

Article Synopsis
  • Myopia is a common eye disorder, and atropine eye drops are the only drug used to manage its progression in children.
  • In a study involving healthy children aged 6-12, the effects of 0.01% atropine eye drops on myopia progression were examined over a year compared to a control group.
  • Results showed no significant differences in myopia progression between the two groups, but the atropine group had an initial higher rate of progression that decreased significantly with treatment.
