Cranial Nerve Assessment: III. Oculomotor

Examination type

Neurological

Patient & Body Segment Positioning

Patient needs to be in a comfortable position, either sitting or standing

Examiner Position

The examiner needs to be anterior to (in front of) the patient

Performing the Test

Pen light test: Have the patient close their eyes. Next use your fingers to open one eye lid and shine the light into that eye. You should see a constriction of the pupil. Be sure to the test the contralateral eye. It helps to have the lights dim to see the reaction. Make sure both pupils are the same size and are receiving the same amount of light. Unequal constriction is strong evidence for increased intracranial pressure.

Tissues Being Tested

Cranial nerve III. Oculomotor nerve; Ventral midbrain of the superior orbital fissure

Positive Test

Unequal reaction bilaterally; no constriction of pupil(s) when light is present

Interpretation

Intracranial involvement

Common errors in performing exam

Not testing both eyes for equal constriction

Factors possibly resulting in misinterpretation

Make sure that the athlete understands what you are doing when performing the test

Related tests

Consensual light reflex test: Have the patient look at a fixed object with both eyes open. Use a pen light to test the constriction of the pupil in each eye individually. Compare size bilaterally.
