Adie's Pupil on Physical Exam Adie's pupil is a neurological disorder characterized by a tonically dilated pupil that reacts slowly to light but shows a more definite response to accommodation (i.e., light-near dissociation). It is named after the British neurologist William John Adie. It is caused by damage to the postganglionic fibers of the parasympathetic innervation of the eye, usually by a viral or bacterial infection which causes inflammation, and affects the pupil of the eye and the autonomic nervous system by Dr. Deepak Gupta #Adies #Pupil #PhysicalExam #clinical #video #ophthalmology #neurology #syndrome
