Description

Background:

• Measuring pupillary light reflex is a standard part of neurological assessment.
• Changes in pupil reactivity may indicate unfavorable outcomes, such as increased intracranial pressure and brain herniation.
• Physiologic and pharmacologic agents may affect pupil reactivity.
• In some instances, pupillary light reflex is the only piece of neurologic assessment readily testable.
