Pupil Involvement in Patients with Diabetes-Associated Oculomotor Nerve Palsy
Arch Ophthalmol 116:723-727, 7981998., Jacobson,D.M., 1998
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Internal ophthalmoplegia occurred in 10(38%)of 26 patients.The size of the anisocoria was 1 mm or less in most patients.None of the patients had a fully dilated unreactive pupil.Pupil involvement in patients with diabetes-associated oculomotor nerve palsy occurs more often than has been previously recognized,although the degree of anisocoria in any 1 patient is usually only 1 mm or less.Some characteristics of the internal ophthalmoplegia may help to distinguish diabetic ophthalmoplegia from injury of the oculomotor nerve caused by aneurysmal compression.
