A de novo mutation of the ACTA2 gene encoding the smooth muscle cell α-actin has been established in patients with multisystemic smooth muscle dysfunction syndrome associated with patent ductus arteriosus and mydriasis present at birth.

The clinical investigations included ophthalmological and radiological studies for von Hippel-Lindau disease (magnetic resonance imaging of the brain, computed tomography of the abdomen, and direct ophthalmoscopy after mydriasis) and annual calcitonin stimulation tests for C cell disease in five members who agreed to regular follow-up.
This is the first independent report of biallelic variants in CHRM3 in a family with a rare serious bladder disorder associated with mydriasis and provides important evidence of this association.
The corneas exposed to gB1s show the appearance of mydriasis and high levels of TLR2 and IL-8 mRNAs transcripts were detected in the superficial layer of corneal epithelial cells.
Here, 9-month-olds (N = 59) showing clearer neural processing (Event-related potential, ERP) of a give-me gesture also evidenced a stronger reaction (pupil dilation) to an inappropriate response to a give-me gesture, and at 2 years were more likely to give in response to a give-me gesture.

A smaller expression of IL-6 to the overall cytokine network value was observed in cases receiving preoperative bromfenac 0.09%, explaining improved maintenance of intraoperative mydriasis.[J Refract Surg.2018;34(10):646-652.].
Choroidal thickness of all subjects was measured using an optical coherence tomography device (Spectralis OCT, version 6.0, Heidelberg Engineering, Germany) with an enhanced depth imaging mode without pupil dilation.
In the univariate analysis, factors associated with an unfavorable outcome were preoperative coagulopathy, midline shift of the brain ≥ 5 mm, basal cistern effacement, moderate to severe TBI, hypotension, fixed and dilated pupils, surgical site infection, hematocrit < 30% on admission, coup contusion, and subdural hematoma.
