[Optic neuropathies and peripheral oculomotor disorders in patients with AIDS].
In patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) there is an 8% incidence of neuro-ophthalmological changes. The commonest of these neuro-ophthalmological changes are: 1) Cranial nerve pareses 2) Optic neuropathy and 3) Pupil disorders. The cranial nerve pareses are usually combined, rather than single, and are due to intraparenchymatous lesions (toxoplasmosis or lymphoma) or to meningitis (tuberculous or lymphoma). The optic nerve changes tend to be papillitis due to CMV or optic neuropathy due to syphilis or to cryptococcal meningitis. Among the pupil changes, Bernard-Horner syndromes due to sympathetic involvement, Argyll-Robertson pupils due to mesencephalic tectal lesions and mydriasis associated with the common oculo-motor nerve have been described.
