Understanding Relative Afferent Pupillary Defect (RAPD) & Marcus Gunn pupil

In this informative video, we dive deep into the fascinating world of Relative Afferent Pupillary Defect (RAPD) and its association with Marcus Gunn Pupil. Whether you're a medical professional, student, or simply curious about eye conditions, this video will provide you with valuable insights.
Argyl Robertson Pupil, named after the Scottish ophthalmologist Sir William Argyl Robertson, is a peculiar eye condition characterized by bilateral, small, and irregular pupils that react poorly to changes in light but constrict when the patient focuses on a nearby object. This unique behavior of the pupils is often referred to as "light-near dissociation." Argyl Robertson Pupils are associated with several underlying medical conditions, with neurosyphilis being one of the most well-known causes. These unusual pupils can also be seen in other neurological disorders. The presence of Argyl Robertson Pupils can be a valuable diagnostic clue for healthcare professionals, indicating the need for further evaluation to uncover the underlying cause. Understanding the characteristics and clinical significance of this phenomenon is essential in the fields of ophthalmology and neurology.
