Abstract
An 8-year-old girl with a history of mild amblyopia who had occlusion therapy, but her anisocoria went unnoticed, was studied. Old photographs of the patient were reviewed and a 0.1% pilocarpine test was performed. Review of her old photographs suggested that she had anisocoria at 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 kept in mind that though rare, Adie's syndrome can be encountered in early childhood.
