Ross' syndrome (tonic pupil plus).

T R Hedges, E W Gerner

    The British Journal of Ophthalmology
    |July 1, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Ross' syndrome, characterized by tonic pupil, hyporeflexia, and segmental hypohidrosis, may represent a spectrum of autonomic dysfunction. Clinicians should recognize symptoms that indicate potentially more extensive underlying disease states.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Autonomic Nervous System Disorders

    Background:

    • Ross' syndrome is a rare neurological condition.
    • It involves a triad of tonic pupil, hyporeflexia, and segmental hypohidrosis.

    Observation:

    • Two cases of Ross' syndrome are presented.
    • Associated symptoms like emotional instability, altered sweating, and orthostatic hypotension were noted.
    • Bilateral tonic pupils can indicate more widespread autonomic issues.

    Findings:

    • The study explores the connection between Ross' syndrome and broader autonomic dysfunction.
    • Specific symptoms are identified as potential indicators of more severe or extensive neurological diseases.

    Implications:

    • Ross' syndrome might be part of a continuum of autonomic disorders.
  • Early recognition of associated symptoms is crucial for diagnosing and managing potentially severe conditions.
