Sample questions

Correct answer highlighted

Sample question 1

Light-near dissociation accompanied by impaired upgaze most strongly localizes to which region?

  • AOptic chiasm
  • BCavernous sinus
  • COrbital apex
  • Dorsal midbrain

Explanation

Light-near dissociation with vertical gaze dysfunction is classic for dorsal midbrain syndrome. Lesions in this region can also cause lid retraction and convergence-retraction nystagmus.

Sample question 2

Which clinical feature particularly supports a compressive optic neuropathy rather than a refractive or media problem?

  • AHalos around lights
  • BMarked fluctuation within minutes every day
  • Dyschromatopsia out of proportion to visual acuity loss
  • DImprovement with pinhole

Explanation

Compressive optic neuropathy often produces color vision impairment, contrast loss, and an RAPD, sometimes before severe acuity decline occurs. Improvement with pinhole suggests an optical rather than optic nerve problem.

Sample question 3

A unilateral relative afferent pupillary defect is most likely to be present in which of the following conditions?

  • AVitreous hemorrhage
  • Optic neuritis
  • CDense cataract
  • DCorneal scar

Explanation

A relative afferent pupillary defect indicates asymmetric dysfunction of the afferent visual pathway, most commonly from optic nerve disease or severe retinal disease. Media opacities such as cataract, corneal scar, and most vitreous hemorrhages do not usually produce a true RAPD by themselves.
