Article Synopsis
- Neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease (NIID) can show a variety of symptoms, and in this case, a 64-year-old woman presented with drooping eyelids (bilateral ptosis).
- Autonomic issues were indicated by her pupil reaction and a head-up tilt test that showed she experienced orthostatic hypotension, meaning she had blood pressure drops upon standing.
- The patient was diagnosed with NIID through a skin biopsy and genetic tests, highlighting that drooping eyelids may be an early sign of this condition and that doctors should look for other autonomic dysfunction in suspected cases.
