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
