Iridoplegia is the paralysis of the sphincter of the iris. It can occur in due to direct orbital injury, which may result in short lived blurred vision.[1]
Types[edit]
It can be of three types:
- accommodative iridoplegia- Noncontraction of pupils during accommodation.
- complete iridoplegia- Iris fails to respond to any stimulation.
- reflex iridoplegia- The absence of light reflex, with retention of accommodation reflex. Also called Argyll Robertson pupil.
Etiology[edit]
Iridoplegia has been reported in association with Guillain-Barré syndrome.[2]
