Abstract

Tonic pupils developed in two patients with malignancies outside the nervous system. Symptoms and signs of more generalized somatic and auto-nomic nervous system involvement were also present. Although the exact morphologic basis for autonomic dysfunction in patients with paraneo-plastic neurologic deterioration is uncertain, recent studies suggest that in some cases an autoimmune mechanism is responsible and may be directed against autonomic ganglion cells.
