Adie's Tonic Pupil Secondary to Migraine J Neuro-Ophthalmol 15:43-44, Purvin,V.A., 1995 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract A 46-year-old woman observed transient unilateral mydriasis during a classic migraine attack.One week later she experienced a similar episode after which anisocoria was persistent.Subsequent examination showed the clinical and pharmacologic features of a postganglionic parasympathetic paresis(Adie's tonic pupil).This case confirms the hypothesis that transient mydriasis accompanying migraine is due to interruption of parasympathetic innervation rather than sympathetic overactivity.
