Corneal reflex in hemisphere disease.

R T Ross

    Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Psychiatry
    |December 1, 1972
    PubMed
    Summary

    Deep parietal lobe lesions can cause an absent contralateral corneal reflex. However, frontal and temporal lobe lesions do not affect this important neurological reflex.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Neuroscience
    • Ophthalmology

    Background:

    • The corneal reflex is a neurological response involving blinking when the cornea is touched.
    • Understanding the reflex arc is crucial for diagnosing neurological conditions.
    • Lesions in different brain regions can affect neurological reflexes in distinct ways.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the impact of brain lesions on the contralateral corneal reflex.
    • To differentiate the effects of parietal lobe lesions from frontal and temporal lobe lesions on this reflex.

    Main Methods:

    • Clinical observation of patients with confirmed brain lesions.
    • Assessment of the corneal reflex in patients with lesions in the parietal, frontal, and temporal lobes.

    Main Results:

    • Absence of the contralateral corneal reflex was observed in patients with deep parietal lobe lesions.
    • Contralateral corneal reflex remained intact in patients with frontal lobe lesions.
    • Contralateral corneal reflex remained intact in patients with temporal lobe lesions.

    Conclusions:

    • Deep parietal lobe lesions are associated with the absence of the contralateral corneal reflex.
    • Frontal and temporal lobe lesions do not appear to disrupt the contralateral corneal reflex.
    • The contralateral corneal reflex can serve as a clinical indicator for specific deep parietal lobe pathologies.
