Abstract
Holmes-Adie syndrome (HAS) is a rare neuro-ophthalmological disorder, which mostly presents in young females
as a unilateral dilated pupil. We present a case of a 12-year-old girl with bilateral tonic pupils. She had vermiform
movement of the iris with segmental palsy, as well as loss of ankle jerks. The diagnosis was confirmed with pilocarpine
0.125% test, and she was symptomatically treated with the same drops.
