Abstract

Lupus is an autoimmune disease with multiple manifestations and multiorgan damage. Neuro-ophthalmic disorders are the less common ophthalmological manifestations of lupus. Adie's tonic pupil is mostly idiopathic and may rarely be caused by autoimmune disorders. The combination of abnormal pupil size and a decrease or loss of deep tendon reflexes is usually called Holmes-Adie syndrome. A case is reported of Holmes-Adie syndrome as an early manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus.
