pilocarpine and Adie Syndrome

pilocarpine has been researched along with Adie Syndrome in 23 studies

Pilocarpine: A slowly hydrolyzed muscarinic agonist with no nicotinic effects. Pilocarpine is used as a miotic and in the treatment of glaucoma.
(+)-pilocarpine : The (+)-enantiomer of pilocarpine.

Adie Syndrome: 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. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p279)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"We investigated pupillary responses to parasympathetic (pilocarpine) and sympathetic agents (tyramine, cocaine, and phenylephrine) in a 51-year-old woman with tonic pupils, loss of muscle stretch reflexes in the limbs, and hemifacial loss of sweating and flushing (Ross' syndrome)."3.68Loss of facial sweating and flushing in Holmes-Adie syndrome.

"The benign syndrome of pupillotonia and absence of deep reflexes is not uncommon."1.38[Tonic pupil, pupil Adie syndrome Adie Holmes: current reassessment of terminology -- a clinical case]. ( Popescu, LA; Rusu, A; Szabo, B, 2012)
"A total of 61 patients with Adie's syndrome or Adie's-like denervation of the iris sphincter (from surgery, trauma, or radiation) and 10 normal subjects were studied."1.30Segmental denervation and reinnervation of the iris sphincter as shown by infrared videographic transillumination.

"A symptomatic patient with Adie's syndrome is described as successfully managed with pilocarpine 0."1.27Adie's syndrome: a medical treatment for symptomatic patients. ( Dolan, BJ; Flach, AJ, 1984)
"Our study suggests those patients with Adie's Syndrome who lack stereoacuity may benefit from long term therapy with dilute pilocarpine if their stereoacuity may benefit from long term therapy with dilute pilocarpine if their stereoacuity improves following a single drop of 0."1.27The therapy of Adie's syndrome with dilute pilocarpine hydrochloride solutions. ( Dolan, BJ; Flach, AJ, 1985)
"In this paper two cases of Adie's syndrome are discussed."1.26[Observations in two cases of Adie's syndrome (author's transl)]. ( Pasco, M, 1980)
"Most of the patients with Adie's syndrome had a moderate accomodative paresis, but there was a strong tendency for the ciliary muscle to recover with time."1.26Ciliary muscle dysfunction in Adie's syndrome. ( Bell, RA; Thompson, HS, 1978)
"In patients with unilateral Adie's syndrome, we compared the relative supersensitivity of the tonic pupil to methacholine hydrochloride (Mecholyl 2."1.26Cholinergic supersensitivity of the iris sphincter in Adie's tonic pupil. ( Bourgon, P; Pilley, FJ; Thompson, HS, 1978)
