Pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma
En el estudio del tracto grafía observamos una reducción de calibre significativo sobre todo en la región del tumor de las fibras que conforman la cápsula interna sugiriéndose fundamentalmente conservación dentro del tracto córtico espinal de la vía piramidal motora y pérdida fundamentalmente de las fibras sensitivas lemniscales tanto laterales como mediales por probablemente tanto por daño directo de las mismas al estar infiltradas como por la pérdida de anisocoria que se produce con el edema.
Anisocoria is an unequal pupil size and makes no sense in this context. I think the author wrote the wrong term here but I can think what it could be. Thoughts?

anisocoria
In the context of an intracranial tumor we can have the tumor itself produce anisocoria due to its mass effect which most likely affects the oculomotor nerve. An edema can also produce a mass effect. So if you have a tumor producing a dilated pupil in one side (and therefore anisocoria) and then you had an edema also producing mass effect in the same way but on the other side, then the difference in pupil sizes would be cancelled out. Then you would have two dilated pupils and therefore "loss of anisocoria."
I hope this helps.

Example sentence:
Compressive lesions from head trauma, intracranial aneurysms, uncal herniation, and tumors typically involve the pupil as they affect the superficial parasympathetic fibers that innervate the pupil.
