Understanding Relative Afferent Pupillary Defect

This chapter explores the pathophysiological processes behind relative afferent pupillary defect, discussing how asymmetric issues in the eye or optic nerve impact pupil responses to light stimuli. It covers the possible causes of optic neuropathy in patients with monocular vision loss, emphasizing the importance of ophthalmoscopy in diagnosis. The chapter also delves into the management of conditions like ischemic optic neuropathy and compressive optic neuropathies, highlighting key clinical findings and imaging studies.
