Adie's

Hello-just got back today from retina specialist, MRI and 2 ey dr.s.  Most recent diagnosis is Adie's tonic pupil.  I had no prior indication just was getting ready ffor work, felt like my contact fell out of my eye, went about my business of getting ready looked in the mirror and all I could see was pupil-no eye color left, later in the day I di get some eye color back but the pupil continues to be very large and not really going down.  MRI results did show a small 1/2cm of somethin no one is sure what so they are sending me to a neurologist.  I have been doing some reading about Adie's but would like to know how does this just happen?  Will it really stay like this?  Is ther an association of Adie's with brain tumor?  Other postings have talked about headaches, and eye pain is this normal and will it go away.  The drops didn't really decrease the size of the pupil sooo I guess I am just worried and wanted to know moe about Adie's.
Thanks for any help u can send my way

Adie's syndrome also known as tonic pupil is NOT associated with brain tumors.

There is a wealth of information on the web about it.
