Adie's syndrome in childhood.

An 8-year-old girl with a history of mild amblyopia who had occlusion therapy, but her anisocoria went unnoticed, was studied. Old photographs of the patient were reviewed and a 0.1% pilocarpine test was performed. Review of her old photographs suggested that she had anisocoria at least since she was 3 years old. The 0.1% pilocarpine test confirmed a diagnosis of Adie's syndrome. In light of this case, it must be kept in mind that though rare, Adie's syndrome can be encountered in early childhood.

[Adie's syndrome and polyneuropathy: apropos of a new case and a case of pupillotonia, polyneuropathy and generalized amyloidosis sparing the nerve].

The association of Adie's syndrome and of neuropathy of chronic evolution is not a frequent occurrence; first made known by Togi in 1967, four cases have been described ever since. The authors report two new observations: one concerns a man showing a unilateral tonic pupil associated to sensory neuropathy, raised C.S.F. protein, rarefaction of myelinated fibres with schwannian proliferation, without amyloid deposit. The other is that of a woman affected with bilateral pupillotonia, motor neuropathy of the four limbs and generalized amylosis. If the first observation is comparable to the five cases reported, the second is more questionable: the absence of amyloid deposit on three nerve biopsies and at the ciliary ganglion level does not absolutely exclude the possibility of amyloid neuropathy.

Methacholine pupillary responses in third nerve palsy and Adie's syndrome.

In order to examine the clinical usefulness of methacholine in assessing the site of ocular parasympathetic lesions, pupillary responses in man were measured in postganglionic (Adie's syndrome) and preganglionic third nerve lesions involving the pupil and in controls. From previous work with methacholine it might have been expected that greater constriction would occur in the postganglionic lesions but similar responses were found in both. Corneal hypoxia due to ptosis appeared unlikely to affect corneal permeability significantly and it is probable that these results reflect an increase responsiveness of the iris at, or distal to, the site of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors. Pupils contralateral to third nerve palsy, when tested on a separate occasion, also constricted by an amount approximately proportional to that of the clinically abnormal pupil. The possibilities that this may result in some way from reduction in total retinal illumination, or from retrograde changes in preganglionic pupilloconstrictor neurons affecting contralateral pupilloconstrictor neurons via central pathways, are discussed. It is concluded that supersensitivity to methacholine, tested carefully in the manner described, is a useful guide to the presence of parasympathetic denervation or decentralization, but that it is not reliable in distinguishing between the two sites.
