Description Light-near dissociation in a 51-year-old woman with multiple sclerosis who experienced double vision for 1 week. Her pupils are 5 mm in diameter in room light (top), react poorly in response to direct light reaction (middle), but constrict promptly in response to near stimulation (bottom). She also had a supranuclear pattern of impaired upward gaze and convergence-retraction "nystagmus" during attempted upward gaze, all consistent with Parinaud's syndrome.
