- Abstract
The article focuses on testing cranial nerves related to the pupillary light reflex, discussing the assessment steps and potential abnormalities. Topics include the role of the optic nerve (CN II) in transmitting light stimuli, the automatic stimulation of oculomotor nerves (CN III) causing bilateral pupillary constriction, and the interpretation of findings to identify neurological abnormalities such as Horner's Syndrome or CN III compression.
