Session information
- Title:
- 04_12 The Relative Afferent Pupillary Defect (RAPD)
- Description:
- This session initially highlights the important neural pathways involved in the relative afferent pupillary defect (RAPD). It then describes the correct environmental conditions and examination techniques to test for an RAPD. Important clinical causes of a positive and negative RAPD will be emphasised and the significance of a positive RAPD discussed.
