Adie syndrome

Late in the course of Adie syndrome, the pupil becomes small (as all pupils do with old age).

Tonicity aberrations are associated with many diseases of the eye (e.g. Adie syndrome).

Adie syndrome is tonic pupil plus absent deep tendon reflexes.

Adie Syndrome is neither progressive nor life threatening, nor is it disabling.

The usual treatment of a standardised Adie syndrome is to prescribe reading glasses to correct for impairment of the eye(s).

A variant of Adie syndrome, Ross syndrome, affects sweating as well.

Tonic pupils are usually due to Adie syndrome, but other diseases can denervate the ciliary ganglion.

In Adie syndrome, damage involving the ciliary ganglion manifests light-near dissociation and a tonically dilated pupil (usually unilateral).

Adie syndrome is a fairly common, benign, idiopathic neuropathy that selectively affects the ciliary ganglion and the spinal cord neurons involved in deep tendon reflex arcs.

Early in the course of Adie syndrome (when the cells of the ciliary ganglion have been destroyed, but before regeneration has occurred) the pupil will be fixed and dilated.

Adie's 'tonic pupil' is usually associated with a benign peripheral neuropathy (Adie syndrome), not with syphilis.Kawasaki A. Physiology, assessment, and disorders of the pupil.

Adie syndrome, sometimes known as Holmes-Adie Syndrome or Adie's Tonic Pupil, is a neurological disorder characterized by a tonically dilated pupil.

William John Adie MD Ed., FRCP (1886-1935) was a British physician and neurologist known for describing the Adie syndrome and narcolepsy.

Adie syndrome presents with three hallmark symptoms, namely at least one abnormally dilated pupil (mydriasis) which does not constrict in response to light, loss of deep tendon reflexes, and abnormalities of sweating.

A patient with anisocoria (one pupil bigger than the other) whose pupil does not react to light (does not constrict when exposed to bright light) most likely has Adie syndrome - idiopathic degeneration of the ciliary ganglion.
