Slit lamp examination is often used as a diagnostic aid : damage to the dilator muscle is indicated by anisocoria when light intensity is lowered.

A patient with anisocoria ( one pupil bigger than the other ) whose pupil does not react to light ( does not constrict when exposed to bright light ) most likely has Adie syndrome idiopathic degeneration of the ciliary ganglion.

When anisocoria occurs and the examiner is unsure whether the abnormal pupil is the constricted or dilated one, if a one-sided ptosis is present then the abnormally sized pupil can be presumed to be on the side of the ptosis.

Some of the causes of anisocoria are life-threatening, including Horner's syndrome ( which may be due to carotid dissection ) and oculomotor nerve palsy ( due to a brain aneurysm, uncal herniation, or head trauma ).

In "'mechanical anisocoria "', this is the result of damage to the iris dilator muscle, which may be caused by trauma, angle-closure glaucoma, surgery such as cataract removal, or uveitis ( inflammation of the eye ).

Common pathology referred to a neuro-ophthalmologist includes afferent visual system disorders ( e . g . optic neuritis, optic neuropathy, papilledema, brain tumors or strokes ) and efferent visual system disorders ( e . g . anisocoria, diplopia, ophthalmoplegia, university-based medical centers.

He was listed as second author on a paper published in " The Journal of Neuroscience ", which was featured briefly in episode 21 of " a show " on May 25, 2012 called My Pupils, explaining that his study of neuroscience of vision was motivated by his harmless anisocoria condition.

:: : : It's actually a very common misconception that David Bowie had different colored eyes, his eyes were both blue, but he had a condition called anisocoria which makes the iris enlarged only giving the appearance that one eye is much darker than the other . talk ) 00 : 19, 31 March 2016 ( UTC)

Signs of increased ICP include decreasing level of consciousness, paralysis or weakness on one side of the body, and a blown pupil, one that fails to high blood pressure and respiratory depression is a classic manifestation of significantly raised ICP . Anisocoria, unequal pupil size, is another sign of serious TBI . Abnormal posturing, a characteristic positioning of the limbs caused by severe diffuse injury or high ICP, is an ominous sign.
