abnormal pupil reaction

[ddb2800]

I have had an abnormal pupil dilation in my right eye for over a month now and sinisitis that's worse on my right side ethmoid sinisis, frontal and spenoid(this showed up from a CT scan). My pupil's will react to light but the right pupil is alway's bigger and it's more noticible in dim light or when I'm looking at something close up. I have also noticed that the right pupil lean's more towards the left during dim light or when I'm looking at something close up. I have been seeing a neuro-opthamlolgist who think's it might be my left eye that's the problem. He also think's it may be that I have a virus in my eye that is causing the problem. I can see fine and I do have some pain when moving my right eye to the right and to the left. My neuro-opthamologist said my eye's are moving normally though.  I'm only taking birthcontrol pill's. I'm wondering what this could be, or if it could be related to the sinisitis?

Hello ddb2800.  I do hope you're doing better, if not I've posted some info below that hopefully might help you.  I'm a Med Student and we just finished discussing similar conitions in class.  Here is some information I gathered from my notes for you.  REMEMBER, RESEARCH EVERYTHING AND YOUR SYMPTOMS  (also one symptom does not constitute a diagnosis you have to have a few of the symptoms and talk to your primary care physician/specialist about your findings and what you are and have experienced, since a Doctor is the only one that can legally diagnose you.

I HOPE THIS HELPS!!  :0)  FYI:  research both of these but it seems like you're describing Argyll Robinson Pupil, just make sure to also look at treatment and duration of symptoms for your condition.)

**What is mydriasis? Dilation of papillary aperture, stimulation of sympathetic nerves, excite radial fibers of the iris

**What is Argyll robinson pupil? What is it associated with? Lens accommodates but pupil does not react to light, associated with neurosyphilis, “prostitute eye”.   (Yes, I know it's a horrible name but that's really what it's called, look it up.)

God Bless & Hope You Get Well Soon!

Hello.

It does appear to be a viral infection. Get your ophthalmologist to treat you for this. Keep a close watch on the pupil size and your sinusitis. The pupil problems should clear once the viral infection has settled.
