Adie syndrome – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/626270657

This is a neurological disorder characterised by a tonically dilated pupil. Absent or poor tendon reflexes are also associated with this disorder. It is caused by damage to the postganglionic fibres 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.
