This new case, the 6-year follow-up from the previous case, and a discussion of tonic pupils are presented. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

- Weakness
We report two patients with long-standing lepromatous leprosy who developed tonic pupils characterized by mydriasis, absence of reaction to light and hypersensitivity to weak cholinergic solution. Examination revealed iritis and iris atrophy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Evidence supporting the role of sympathetic postganglionic denervation has been pharmacologically demonstrated by the hypersensitivity response following the instillation of very weak concentrations of epinephrine ( 4 ). [scielo.br]

- Falling
Paroxysmal coughing during head up tilt resulted in a fall in blood pressure from 151/99 to 98/70 mm Hg, inducing presyncope. He was treated with a high salt intake and fludrocortisone to improve orthostatic tolerance. [jnnp.bmj.com]
Cardiovascular
- Hypotension
Those symptoms (emotional instability, loss of sweating, orthostatic hypotensive symptoms, and signs of bilaterality of the tonic pupil) which should alert the clinician to more extensive disease states are noted. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Holmes-Adie syndrome includes other features, notably diminished deep tendon reflexes and orthostatic hypotension. In the initial stages, a tonic pupil is dilated and poorly reactive. [aao.org]
He then developed symptoms of postural hypotension and was bothered by frequent paroxysms of coughing that resulted in syncope on several occasions. There was no history of lung disease. [jnnp.bmj.com]
When Deep Tendon Reflexes (DTRs) of the legsknee and ankle jerksare also affected, accompanied by symptoms including localized, discreet areas of the skin that do not sweat, postural hypotension (low blood pressure related to sudden standing or rising [healthboards.com]

- Anisocoria
The difference in pupil size (anisocoria) can be found in a variety of ophthalmic disorders, which may be benign or not, such as physiological anisocoria, Horner’s syndrome, Adie’s pupil, pharmacological anisocoria, pupillary supranuclear disorders, problems [scielo.br]

One suggested method for distinguishing between these two possible causes is examination for anisocoria and sector palsy. [eyewiki.com]
The clearest difference found was in the degree of anisocoria, particularly in the light: patients with Adie/Ross syndrome are much more likely to have significant anisocoria compared with patients with a generalised neuropathy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Blurred Vision
Case Report A 36-year-old woman visited a neurology department with a 7-day history of throbbing headache and blurred vision in both eyes. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Symptoms can include blurred vision, loss of color vision, floaters, light sensitivity, metamorphopsia and vision loss. wraparound Also called "wrap" for short. [allaboutvision.com]
- Pupillary Abnormality
This pupillary abnormality may result from ischaemia of the ciliary ganglia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
A pupillary abnormality characterized by a poor pupillary light reaction, reduced accommodation, iris sector palsies, an enhanced pupillary response to near effort that results in a prolonged, "tonic" constriction, and slow pupillary redilation. [lookfordiagnosis.com]

- Diplopia
Pupil of other eye may later become similarly affected Refer patient emergently to ophthalmologist or emergency room if you find upper lid ptosis and miosis, especially if acute and accompanied by new neck pain or diplopia [kellogg.umich.edu]
If diplopia persists when one eye is closed (monocular diplopia), the cause is probably a nonneurologic eye disorder. If diplopia disappears when either eye is closed (binocular diplopia), the cause is probably a disorder of ocular motility. [merckmanuals.com]
There was no diplopia or nystagmus. Her ocular movements, including the saccadic and smooth pursuit eye movements, were normal. There was no eyeball deviation or lid retraction. Both pupils were dilated (6 mm) and unresponsive to light. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Visual Impairment
The eyelashes begin to scrape the eyeball and cornea, which eventually causes visual impairment and blindness. Worldwide, 84 million people are affected by trachoma. [allaboutvision.com]
Neurologic

She complained of blurred vision and headache mainly while reading. She had a 35-year history of hepatitis B and liver cirrhosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Headache is not a common part of the syndrome, but could be due to problems with your vision. Wearing sunglasses, or even patching the affected eye, may reduce the strain, and perhaps relieve the headache. [eyecaretrust.org.uk]

Treatment
The usual treatment of a standardised Adie syndrome is to prescribe reading glasses to correct for impairment of the eye(s). Pilocarpine drops may be administered as a treatment as well as a diagnostic measure. [en.wikipedia.org]
She went to the otorhinolaryngologist, where she was diagnosed with Meniere’s Syndrome, and she began treatment with Labirin® (betahistine dihydrochloride). She abandoned treatment after developing headache as a side effect of the drug. [scielo.br]

Prognosis
With appropriate treatment, the prognosis of Adie Syndrome is good Please find comprehensive information on Adie Syndrome regarding definition, distribution, risk factors, causes, signs & symptoms, diagnosis, complications, treatment, prevention, prognosis [dovemed.com]
Ten percent of cases are bilateral and the prognosis is benign. 1 Dorsal midbrain syndrome is characterized by several signs, including eyelid retraction, nystagmus, mid-dilated pupils with light-near dissociation, and paralysis of the upward gaze. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Pilocarpine drops may be administered as a treatment as well as a diagnostic measure, and should be applied three times daily.[1] Thoracic sympathectomy is the definitive treatment of diaphoresis, if the condition is not treatable by drug therapy.[1] Prognosis [eyecare-information-service.org.uk]
What is the prognosis? Holmes-Adie syndrome is not life-threatening or disabling. The loss of deep tendon reflexes is permanent. Some symptoms of the disorder may progress. For most individuals, pilocarpine drops and glasses will improve vision. [web.archive.org]

Etiology
Adie's tonic pupil is benign neuro-ophthalmological disorder of unknown etiology. Most patients commonly present no symptoms and anisocoria is noticed accidentally. Although the etiology is unknown, there are some conditions that cause tonic pupil. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Any history or findings indicating a more general neuropathy, such as history of Diabetic Autonomic Neuropathy, could suggest an etiology of the mydriasis other than Adie’s Tonic Pupil. [eyewiki.com]
At this time, the underlying etiology of this disease is unknown. [eyewiki.org]

Prevention
Currently, the exact cause of Adie syndrome has not been identified and it cannot be prevented Adie Syndrome presents with dilated pupil that react slowly to light, increased sensitivity to light, difficulty reading, and increased sweating. [dovemed.com]
Much of this research focuses on finding better ways to prevent, treat, and ultimately cure disorders, such as HAS. Select this link to view a list of studies currently seeking patients. [web.archive.org]
We can hope that Holmes-Adie Syndrome can be prevented and treated better in the days ahead. [weheartvision.com]
