iridoplegia
Paralysis of the sphincter muscle of the iris resulting in a dilated pupil. The iridoplegia can be partial as in Argyll Robertson pupil, or complete in which case the pupil does not react to light or to a near object. It may be due to trauma, drugs (e.g. cocaine instilled in the eye) or a systemic disease (e.g. neurosyphilis).
