Descriptor síndrome de Adie
Entry term(s) síndrome de Holmes-Adie
Scope note: Síndrome caracterizado por la presencia de una PUPILA TÓNICA que se da en combinación con una disminución de los reflejos de las extremidades inferiores. La pupila afectada responde de modo más brusco a la acomodación que a la luz (disociación luz-proximidad) y es muy sensible a las gotas en colirio de pilocarpina diluida, que inducen constricción pupilar. Las características anatomopatológicas incluyen degeneración del ganglio ciliar y de las fibras parasimpáticas postganglionares que inervan el músculo constrictor de la pupila.

Scope note: A syndrome characterized by a TONIC PUPIL that occurs in combination with decreased lower extremity reflexes. The affected pupil will respond more briskly to accommodation than to light (light-near dissociation) and is supersensitive to dilute pilocarpine eye drops, which induce pupillary constriction. Pathologic features include degeneration of the ciliary ganglion and postganglionic parasympathetic fibers that innervate the pupillary constrictor muscle.
