Guest guest Posted May 29, 2002 Report Share Posted May 29, 2002 Glad to see you're still out there Krista. What's new from Denmark? Anisocoria is experienced by about 8% of MSA patients according to that article. Maybe we need to put out a new medical word every few days and have some different people look it up for us. Bill " Old Ivy Brain " and I aren't allowed to give the answers. Hugs, Pam Anisocoria Anisocoria: Both pupils are usually of equal size. If they are not, that is termed anisocoria (from " a- " , not + " iso " , equal + " kore " , pupil = not equal pupils). The pupil may appear to open (dilate) and close (constrict) but it is really the iris that is the prime mover; the pupil is merely the absence of iris. The size of the pupil determines how much light is let into the eye. With anisocoria, the larger pupil lets more light enter the eye. source: http://www.medicinenet.com/Script/Main/hp.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2002 Report Share Posted May 29, 2002 Hi all Well, here in Denmark life moves on slowly after my mother's death. I have often thought about unsubscribing(as I hopefully will never encounter MSA again!!!)but I guess that checking in on the list is a way of holding on(not being able to let go just yet) On a happier note, summer(AND SUMMER VACATION) is approaching fast here in good old Denmark and when I am done grading what feels like tons of exam papers me and my family are off to France on vacation!!! So I wish all of you a happy summer wherever you are(except the Aussies of course who are in the middle of winter - poor souls ) summergreetings from Krista, Denmark PS I wish the Aussies a happy winter ;o) > Glad to see you're still out there Krista.
