Spanish term or phrase: pupilas isocoricas
from a medical report
o borris
pupils equal
Explanation:
In U.S. medical jargon, it's much more common to say that the patient's pupils are equal, rather than isochoric. Normal pupils are usually referred to by the achronym PERRL (pupils equal, round and reactive to light). In Spanish, PERRL translates to "pupilas isocoricas y normoreactivas a la luz (sometimes abbreviated PINRAL)

I thank you for this clarification. I wound up sticking with the medical jargon and used ''isochoric''as the equivalent term.
I was blown away with the great help on this site. I had forgotten about registering here years ago.
