Abstract
A female patient with Adie’s syndrome died from unrelated disease at the age of 62. Both ciliary ganglia were seen to be severely depleted of nerve cells and still ongoing degeneration was seen in lumbar spinal ganglia, as well as in the posterior funiculi. This confirms earlier reports that primary pathological changes in Adie’s syndrome are localized in the ciliary and spinal ganglia. Furthermore, it indicates that the underlying disease is still progressive after years.Keywords
