William John Adie was an Australian neurologist in the early 20th century responsible for extensively describing the tonically dilated pupil associated with absent deep tendon reflexes - both features of a syndrome that now bears his name. In addition to other neurological syndromes, he was also significant in delineating narcolepsy through his clinical essays and case series. His ophthalmic and neurologic contributions have served the test of time and played an important role in the modern understanding of Adie syndrome and narcolepsy. This report reviews Adie's medical contributions, extensive descriptions of Adie syndrome, and provides a brief biographical account of his life.
威廉·约翰·阿迪是20世纪初的一位澳大利亚神经学家，他负责广泛描述与深部腱反射消失相关的强直性瞳孔扩大——这两种特征现在构成了以他的名字命名的一种综合征。除了其他神经综合征外，他还通过临床论文和病例系列对发作性睡病的描述具有重要意义。他在眼科和神经学方面的贡献经受住了时间的考验，在现代对阿迪综合征和发作性睡病的理解中发挥了重要作用。本报告回顾了阿迪的医学贡献、对阿迪综合征的详细描述，并简要介绍了他的生平。
