Abstract:
Intracranial aneurysm is one of the major causes in cerebral hemorrhage and subarachnoid hemorrhage. About 20% patients with intracranial aneurysms have clinical symptoms or signs of eye in early stage. One of them is acute monocular mydriasis without other signs. Sometimes the patients would receive timely treatment and be saved if ophthalmologists can recognize this sign. This editorial reviewed some physiological and pathological factors resulting in acute mydriasis from the point of anatomy, etiology and diagnosis , and emphasized the relation and clinical significance between intracranial aneurysms and monocular mydriasis.
