- Adie's pupil is due to postviral degeneration in ciliary ganglion
(where as in Argyll Robertson pupil is caused by damage to pathway from retina to Edinger Westphal nucleus)
(where as in Argyll Robertson pupil is caused by damage to pathway from retina to Edinger Westphal nucleus)
- tonically dilated pupil
- does not constrict to light but constrict to accomodation
- pupil constricts with 0.125% pilocarpine (due to cholinergic denervation supersensitivity)
- pupil constricts with 0.125% pilocarpine (due to cholinergic denervation supersensitivity)
- Holmes Adie syndrome is combination of Adie's pupil and hyporeflexia
- also presents as diaphoresis, hyperopia (due to accomodative paresis)
- Ross's syndrome = Adie's syndrome + segmental anhidrosis (typically associated with compensatory hyperhidrosis)
