tropicamide has been researched along with Supranuclear Palsy, Progressive in 1 studies
Tropicamide: One of the MUSCARINIC ANTAGONISTS with pharmacologic action similar to ATROPINE and used mainly as an ophthalmic parasympatholytic or mydriatic.
Supranuclear Palsy, Progressive: A degenerative disease of the central nervous system characterized by balance difficulties; OCULAR MOTILITY DISORDERS (supranuclear ophthalmoplegia); DYSARTHRIA; swallowing difficulties; and axial DYSTONIA. Onset is usually in the fifth decade and disease progression occurs over several years. Pathologic findings include neurofibrillary degeneration and neuronal loss in the dorsal MESENCEPHALON; SUBTHALAMIC NUCLEUS; RED NUCLEUS; pallidum; dentate nucleus; and vestibular nuclei.

| "We examined 14 patients with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), another related neurodegenerative disorder characterized by severe widespread cholinergic deficits and known central hypersensitivity to cholinergic blockade, to determine whether they also showed a marked pupil dilation after administration of dilute tropicamide eye drops." | 1.29 | Can tropicamide eye drop response differentiate patients with progressive supranuclear palsy and Alzheimer's disease from healthy control subjects?
