Congenital4
heterochromia iridum (in congenital Horner's syndrome) Interruption of sympathetic pathways leads to several implications. (wikipedia.org)
citation needed] Horner's syndrome is usually acquired as a result of disease, but may also be congenital (inborn, associated with heterochromatic iris) or iatrogenic (caused by medical treatment). (wikipedia.org)
Iris heterochromia (with the affected eye being hypopigmented) is seen in congenital Horner syndrome or Horner syndrome that occurs in children younger than 2 years. (medscape.com)
Signs that are found in people with Horner's syndrome on the affected side of the face include the following: ptosis (drooping of the upper eyelid) anhidrosis (decreased sweating) miosis (constriction of the pupil) Enophthalmos (sinking of the eyeball into the face) inability to completely close or open the eyelid facial flushing headaches loss of ciliospinal reflex bloodshot conjunctiva, depending on the site of lesion. (wikipedia.org)
If someone has impaired sweating above the waist affecting only one side of the body, yet they do not have a clinically apparent Horner's syndrome, then the lesion is just below the stellate ganglion in the sympathetic chain. (eyeplastic.com)
If the lesion is above the superior cervical ganglion (preganglionic or central Horner syndrome) and the postganglionic fibers are intact, the pupil of the affected eye also dilates, and anisocoria decreases. (msdmanuals.com)
If a postganglionic lesion is present (peripheral Horner syndrome), the pupil of the affected eye dilates much more than that of the unaffected eye because the iris dilator muscle of the affected eye has lost its sympathetic innervation and has developed adrenergic supersensitivity. (msdmanuals.com)
If results suggest Horner syndrome, hydroxyamphetamine (1%) can be put in both eyes 48 hours later to help locate the lesion. (msdmanuals.com)
Horner's Syndrome24
Horner's syndrome, also known as oculosympathetic paresis, is a combination of symptoms that arises when a group of nerves known as the sympathetic trunk is damaged. (wikipedia.org)
The phenomenon of enophthalmos is seen in Horner's syndrome in cats, rats, and dogs. (wikipedia.org)
citation needed] In children, Horner's syndrome sometimes leads to heterochromia, a difference in eye color between the two eyes. (wikipedia.org)
In rare cases, Horner's syndrome may be the result of repeated, minor head trauma, such as being hit with a soccer ball. (wikipedia.org)
Although most causes are relatively benign, Horner's syndrome may reflect serious disease in the neck or chest (such as a Pancoast tumor (tumor in the apex of the lung) or thyrocervical venous dilatation). (wikipedia.org)
As a complication of tube thoracostomy Thoracic aortic aneurysm Postganglionic (no anhidrosis) Cluster headache - combination termed Horton's headache An episode of Horner's syndrome may occur during a migraine attack and be relieved afterwards Carotid artery dissection/carotid artery aneurysm/trauma Cavernous sinus thrombosis Middle ear infection Sympathectomy Nerve blocks, such as cervical plexus block, stellate ganglion or interscalene block Horner syndrome is due to a deficiency of sympathetic activity. (wikipedia.org)
The following are examples of conditions that cause the clinical appearance of Horner's syndrome:[citation needed] First-order neuron disorder: Central lesions that involve the hypothalamospinal tract (e.g. transection of the cervical spinal cord). (wikipedia.org)
Partial Horner's syndrome: In case of a third-neuron disorder, anhidrosis is limited to the middle part of the forehead or can be absent, resulting in a partial Horner's syndrome. (wikipedia.org)
Horner syndrome (Horner's syndrome or oculosympathetic paresis) results from an interruption of the sympathetic nerve supply to the eye and is characterized by the classic triad of miosis (ie, constricted pupil), partial ptosis , and loss of hemifacial sweating (ie, anhidrosis), as well as enophthalmos (sinking of the eyeball into the bony cavity that protects the eye). (medscape.com)
