Decreased light convergence ... rays require less convergence ... rays require more convergence
Parinaud's Syndrome
What?
 - Impaired upgaze
 - Light-near dissociation
 - Convergence retraction nystagmus
 - Eyelid retraction (Collier's
dissociation - Convergence
Cardiac Myocyte Contractile cycle

Parinaud's syndrome
What?
 • Light-near dissociation (tectal pupils)
 • Convergence retraction nystagmus
 • Eyelid retraction (Collier's sign)
tectal pupils) • Convergence
Visual Pathway Neural Lesions
A) Optic Nerve → Left Anopia
B) Optic Chiasm → Bitemporal Hemianopia
C) Lateral Geniculate
Optic Nerve → Left Anopia
