In the 3rd cranial nerve, the efferent fibers that are responsible for pupillary constriction are on the periphery of the nerve. So when an aneurysm or mass compresses the nerve, it'll compromise these fibers and leads to pupillary dilation. This is called…
They call it surgical because its treatment is surgical (removal of the compressive lesion). While the medical is called so because it's treated medically. I mean, it's kinda obvious...

Some random notes on DM therapy:
Non-insulin therapy
• GLP1 & SGLT2 have a mAcrovascular protective effect.
SGLT2 in particular protects against heart failure & diabetic kidney disease.
• TZDs (pioglitazone) increases rates of HF & hepatotoxicity. Rosiglitazone is not used anymore due to these reasons.
• Metformin can cause lactic acidosis especially in RF.
• Sulfonylureas, on the other hand, can cause significant hypoglycemia. They also lose their effect (and cause total B-cell failure) after long-term use "sulfonylurea failure."
• They lead to weight gain too.
• DPP-4 drugs (all end in -liptin) shouldn't be used with GLP1.
• SGLT2 (all end in -flozin) is really fucking good. But use it cautiously with DM-1 as it can precipitate euglycemic DKA.
• SGLT2 & Metformin are euglycemic agents (do not cause hypoglycemia).
• the GLP1 guys all end in -tide

Insulin therapy
• Add zinc/protamine to your regular (short-acting) insulin, and it becomes a long-acting insulin (called isophane or NPH insulin). Add a lot more zinc ions, and it becomes (lente insulin).
• Liver & renal disease delay insulin breakdown in the body.
