Abstract
An 8-year-old girl with a history of mild amblyopia who had occlusion therapy, but her anisocoria went unnoticed, was studied. Old photograp hs of the patient were reviewed and a 0.1% pilocarpine test was perfor med. Review of her old photographs suggested that she had anisocoria a t least since she was 3 years old. The 0.1% pilocarpine test confirmed a diagnosis of Adie's syndrome. In light of this case, it must be kep t in mind that though rare, Adie's syndrome can be encountered in earl y childhood.
