Pupil diameter has been measured at different times after topical administration of tropicamide 0.01% in the right eye. Then, topical administration of pilocarpine 0.06% has been performed, followed by pupillary constriction measurement. Pupillary response rates were stratified according to acetylcholinesterase inhibitors intake. Observed mydriasis and pupillary constriction was similar in all study groups at all evaluation times. Patients without acetylcholinesterase inhibitors intake presented greater mydriasis. Although it was not possible to observe significant differences among groups in terms of pupillary response, the analysis of pupillary features may become an useful tool to detect efficacy of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors.

A 68-year-old female was admitted to the ER due to dysphagia and a cough. The patient had a medical history of TEF resulting from a tracheostomy and prolonged mechanical ventilation. Previous endoscopic treatment had failed, namel
