  • Title: [Adie's syndrome and polyneuropathy: apropos of a new case and a case of pupillotonia, polyneuropathy and generalized amyloidosis sparing the nerve].
    Author: Salama J, Hauw JJ, Dubas F, Giroux C, Frison A, Delaporte P.
    Journal: Ann Med Interne (Paris); 1984; 135(1):39-42. PubMed ID: 6703570.
    Abstract:
    The association of Adie's syndrome and of neuropathy of chronic evolution is not a frequent occurrence; first made known by Togi in 1967, four cases have been described ever since. The authors report two new observations: one concerns a man showing a unilateral tonic pupil associated to sensory neuropathy, raised C.S.F. protein, rarefaction of myelinated fibres with schwannian proliferation, without amyloid deposit. The other is that of a woman affected with bilateral pupillotonia, motor neuropathy of the four limbs and generalized amylosis. If the first observation is comparable to the five cases reported, the second is more questionable: the absence of amyloid deposit on three nerve biopsies and at the ciliary ganglion level does not absolutely exclude the possibility of amyloid neuropathy.
