En éclairant rapidement l'œil atteint ensuite (dont la pupille est d'abord contractée), on observera une dilatation de la pupille: le temps que le nerf optique envoie son message au 3e nerf, la pupille aura eu le temps de dilater... C'est ce qu'on appelle un déficit pupillaire afférent ou pupille de Marcus Gunn. La découverte de ce signe signifie toujours une atteinte du nerf optique ou une atteinte sévère de la rétine. 1, record 1, French, - pupille%20de%20Marcus%20Gunn

Les attitudes antalgiques latérales réalisent une déviation globale très particulière qui les distinguent des scolioses. Le tronc est déjeté latéralement par rapport au bassin et aux membres inférieurs qui restent équilibrés. Cette déviation n'est pas compensée par une courbure correctrice sus-jacente ce qui porte de ce fait l'aplomb de l'occiput en dehors de l'axe normal passant entre les deux talons ou le long du pli interfessier. 2, record 3, French, - attitude%20en%20ba%C3%AFonnette
