[Unrecognized paralyses of accommodation and their importance in diagnostics and expertise (author's transl)].
Paralyses of accommodation are safely diagnosticizable even in patients over 45 years of age provided there is no complete presbyopia. The identification can be a key to diagnosing the entire disease pattern. In one case a suspected Adie's syndrome with amblyopia and without any connection with internment and damage due to malnutrition was identified as ophthalmoplegia interna with partial atrophy of the n. opticus, most probably caused by malnutrition encephalopathy or encephalitis. In another patient, a bilateral isolated accommodation paralysis indicated damage of the accommodation center during concussion of the brain (possibly only a functional damage).
