Description:
Diseases of the oculomotor nerve or nucleus that result in weakness or paralysis of the superior rectus, inferior rectus, medial rectus, inferior oblique, or levator palpebrae muscles, or impaired parasympathetic innervation to the pupil. With a complete oculomotor palsy, the eyelid will be paralyzed, the eye will be in an abducted and inferior position, and the pupil will be markedly dilated. Commonly associated conditions include neoplasms, CRANIOCEREBRAL TRAUMA, ischemia (especially in association with DIABETES MELLITUS), and aneurysmal compression. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p270)

- " To evaluate the frequency and clinical correlates of preganglionic cholinergic supersensitivity of the iris sphincter, I prospectively tested 31 consecutive outpatients with oculomotor nerve palsies by comparing their pupil diameters in darkness before and 30 minutes after topical application of pilocarpine 0.1%" 09/01/1998
- " METHODS: In this retrospective study, the authors first identified 11 patients with oculomotor nerve palsy and 11 patients with unilateral Adie's pupil who demonstrated supersensitive pupillary responses using dilute pilocarpine" 01/01/1991
- " Other causes of a non-light-reactive dilated pupil, such as Adie's tonic pupil, third nerve palsy and lesion of the mesencephalic pretectal region, must be excluded before testing the iris sphincter reaction to 1% pilocarpine" 01/01/2007
- " Our patient's mydriasis reacted to diluted pilocarpine 0.125% which is a sign of Adie's pupil and is not supposed to occur in mydriasis caused by a third nerve palsy" 10/01/2005
- " The clinical evaluation of anisocoria is discussed, emphasising the pharmacological aids (e.g., cocaine 10% eye drops, hydroxyamphetamine eye drops, pilocarpine 0.1% eye drops, pilocarpine 1% eye drops, apraclonidine) used in differentiating the different causes of anisocoria (e.g., physiological anisocoria, Horner syndrome, Adie pupil, pharmacological anisocoria, third nerve palsy)."
