Parinaud's Syndrome is a cluster of abnormalities of eye movement and pupil dysfunction, characterized by:
- Paralysis of upgaze: Downward gaze is usually preserved. This vertical palsy is supranuclear, so doll's head maneuver should elevate the eyes, but eventually all upward gaze mechanisms fail.
- Pseudo-Argyll Robertson pupils: Accomodation reflex present, with sluggish/ absent pupillary reflex
- Convergence-Retraction nystagmus: Attempts at upward gaze often produce this phenomenon. On fast up-gaze, the eyes pull in and the globes retract. The easiest way to bring out this reaction is to ask the patient to follow down-going stripes on an optokinetic drum.
- Eyelid retraction (Collier's sign)
- Conjugate down gaze in the primary position: "setting-sun sign".
