Parinaud's oculoglandular syndrome

Parinaud's oculoglandular syndrome, abbreviated POS, is a medical condition characterized by a specific set of symptoms affecting the eye and the nearby lymph nodes. It is named after the French ophthalmologist Henri Parinaud. The name is easily confused with Parinaud's syndrome, a separate neurological syndrome caused by a lesion in the midbrain, which was also named after the same physician; the two conditions share an eponym but not a body system. This entry records the condition as a named clinical syndrome and is not medical advice; diagnosis and treatment belong to a qualified clinician.
