A 37 year-old Japanese male felt photophobia of both eyes one week following the onset of the common cold. His neurological examination revealed bilateral Adie's tonic pupils, no extraocular movement disorder, normal deep tendon reflexes, and no cerebellar signs. Based on markedly increased blood levels of anti-GQ1b IgG and anti-GT1a IgG antibodies, we diagnosed him as anti-GQ1b antibody syndrome. Bilateral Adie's tonic pupils were improved by IVIg drip infusion and methylprednisolone pulse therapy. This case suggests that we need to investigate anti ganglioside antibody when a patient presents with bilateral Adie's tonic pupils.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a current pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 that has vastly affected the whole world. Although respiratory disease is the most common manifestation of COVID-19, the virus can affect multiple organs. Neurotropic aspects of the virus are increasingly unfolding, in so far as some respiratory failures are attributed to brainstem involvement.

A 36-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with complaints of dysphagia and photophobia. A neurological examination showed oropharyngeal palsy and bilateral mydriasis with loss of light reflexes in the absence of external ophthalmoplegia. Bilateral pupils were supersensitive to pilocarpine 0.

Adie's pupil is a neurological condition of unknown origin with unusual, asymmetric presentation known as anisocoria with the enlarged pupil failing to react to light. It is believed that this pupillary abnormality results from damage to the ciliary ganglion or postganglionic short ciliary nerves. Affected individuals (usually female) may be symptomatic with photophobia or difficulty reading in the diseased eye.

Background: Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) is a neuropathy which affects mainly large myelinated axons and has a typically mild autonomic dysfunction mainly from postganglionic nerve fiber involvement.
Case Report: We report here an acute onset CIDP initially diagnosed as Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), unresponsive to treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg), which later responded to plasmapheresis and corticoids. The patient had a markedly distal demyelination, prominent cranial nerve involvement and, interestingly, bilateral fixed dilated pupils.
