? Adie's syndrome: Adie described asymmetry in the autonomic (automatic) nervous system. Some asymmetry is normal but if it becomes visibly present as in your case it is abnormal. Strangely I have learned from years of practice that sugar is often the key. It causes relative deficiency of vitamin b1 just like the old fashioned choke caused trouble in a car.
