Intishar wa Ittisa‘ al-Thuqba
Term Code:
UMA-0685
Description:
Most Unani physicians think these words are synonymous but Dawud Antaki has only differentiated these terms by saying that Ittisa‘ or dialatation of pupils is a disease where as Intishar or the blurring of vision is a symptom which is caused by dialatation of pupil. According to the causes Ittisa‘ or dialatation of pupils can be of many types: Warami (inflammatory), Yubsi (decrease in aqueous humour), Darbi (traumatic), and Maddi (organic), Rutubi (excess of aqueous humour). Its possible English equivalent is dialatation of
pupil/mydriasis.
