+==[[Miosis pathophysiology|Pathophysiology]]==
-'''Miosis''' is a medical term for constriction of the [[pupil]]. It is the opposite of [[mydriasis]]. It is seen in a variety of medical conditions, and can also be caused by certain drugs and chemicals.  Eye drops used to intentionally cause miosis are known as "miotics". Extreme miosis is commonly called "pinpoint pupils", a situation that can be caused by use of opiates.
-==Physiology of the photomotor reflex==
+==[[Miosis causes|Causes]]==
-Visual stimuli enters the eye,and through the retinal photoceptors is converted into an electric impulse, carried through the optic nerve ([[cranial nerve]] II) to the brain, where it connects to the pretectal nucleus of the high midbrain. It bypasses the lateral geniculate nucleus and the primary visual cortex. From the pretectal nucleus neurons send axons to neurons of the [[Edinger-Westphal nucleus]] whose visceromotor axons run along both the left and right oculomotor nerves. Visceromotor nerve axons (which constitute a portion of the III [[cranial nerve]], along with the somatomotor portion derived from the Edinger-Westphal nucleus) synapse on ciliary ganglion neurons, whose [[parasympathetic]] axons innervate the constrictor muscle of the iris, producing '''[[miosis]]'''.

-==Differential diagnosis of causes of miosis==
-=== Age ===
-The likelihood of suffering miosis increases with age.
+==[[Miosis differential diagnosis|Differentiating Miosis from other Disorders]]==
-=== Diseases ===
+==[[Miosis epidemiology and demographics|Epidemiology and Demographics]]==
-* [[Horner syndrome]] (a set of abnormalities in the nervous supply of the face due to damage to the [[sympathetic nervous system]]).
-* [[Pancoast tumor]] (a [[lung cancer|tumor]] of the apical [[lung]]), due to damage to the ascending sympathetic tract that would normally cause the pupil to dilate.
-* [[Hemorrhage]] into [[pons]] ([[intracranial hemorrhage]])
-=== Drugs ===
+==[[Miosis natural history, complications and prognosis|Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis]]==
-* [[Opioid]]s such as [[tramadol]], [[codeine]], [[morphine]], [[heroin]] and [[methadone]]
-* [[Antipsychotics]], including [[haloperidol]], [[thorazine]], [[olanzapine]], [[quetiapine]] and others
-* [[Cholinergic]] agents such as those used to treat [[Alzheimer's disease]] and [[nerve gas]]es; cholinergic drugs such as [[carbachol]] (Miostat) and [[neostigmine]]
-* Some cancer [[chemotherapy]] drugs, including [[camptothecin]] derivatives
-* [[Mirtazapine]], a [[noradrenergic and specific serotonergic antidepressant]] ([[NaSSA]])
-* [[Trazodone]]
-* Some [[MAO_inhibitor|MAO Inhibitors]].
-* In some rare cases, when exposed to [[mustard gas]].
-===Miotics===
+==Diagnosis==
-A '''miotic''' substance causes the constriction of the [[pupil]] of the eye (or [[miosis]]). It is the opposite of a [[Mydriatic]] substance, which causes [[dilation]] of the pupil.
