Horner's syndrome (HS) is related to an interruption of the oculosympathetic nerve pathway. The classic clinical findings associated with this condition are ptosis, miosis, and enophthalmos. Heterochromia is typically described in congenital HS, but it is an uncommon finding in acquired HS. We report a case of post-traumatic HS associated with heterochromia. A literature review indicates that this type of heterochromia may be related to a reduction in the number of iris melanocytes. This mechanism may be the same in the physiological iris color modifications in adulthood.

Horner's syndrome is the triad of miosis, ptosis, and anhidrosis, resulting from disruption of the sympathetic pathways. This article describes an uncommon case of Horner's syndrome in a 22-year-old man after blunt trauma to the neck and chest without carotid artery dissection. The patient was brought to the emergency service after motorcycle fall. Neurologic examination revealed a patient presenting the score 15 at Glasgow Coma Scale. The left eyelid was 1-2 mm lower than the right. Carotid Doppler and angiotomography were undertaken and revealed no abnormalities of the carotid artery. CT disclosed a mediastinal hematoma extending to the left apex, compressing the left sympathetic chain. The understanding of this clinical entity may help the surgeon to make a better differential diagnosis in trauma patients in whom prompt diagnosis is critical to establish the correct treatment.

A one-year-old female English Cocker Spaniel dog with idiopathic Horner's Syndrome is described. The specific clinical signs in this specimen were miosis, ptosis, enophthalmos, and prolapsed nictitans for 2 days following sudden onset. According to history taking, ophthalmic, neurological, and radiological examination, the patient was diagnosed with idiopathic Horner's syndrome. Manual acupuncture treatment was applied to the dog on local points two times in 2 days. The local acupoints were ST-4 (Di Chang) and GB-1 (Tong Zi Liao). The day after the initial acupuncture treatment, clinical signs related to idiopathic Horner's syndrome had almost disappeared. The day after the second treatment, specific clinical signs were completely absent. During this period, the dog did not receive any orthodox treatment. Thus, it is suggested that manual acupuncture might be an effective therapy for idiopathic Horner's syndrome.

Horner's syndrome, or oculosympathetic paresis, results from interruption of the sympathetic trunk innervation to the eye and presents typically with meiosis, ptosis and facial anhydrosis on the affected side.(1) The pathological process ranges from benign, such as cluster headache, or life threatening, such as lung malignancy. Appropriate imaging requires an anatomical appreciation of the complex and circuitous route the neuronal pathway takes as it passes from the central nervous system to the eye.

Ventricular catheterization in the rat is a widely deployed procedure. Current options allow a one-time catheterization procedure, introducing an error due to the inter-individual variability. Six Fischer rats underwent left ventricular catheterization through the right carotid artery, repeated seven days later via the left carotid artery. We acquired volume and pressure data from each animal during both procedures. Volumes and pressures were plotted to construct pressure-volume loops at the two time-points. The neurological outcome and the gross anatomy of the heart were also evaluated. We did not observe any major behavioral or neurological alteration in any of the animals. We observed a Horner syndrome with palpebral ptosis and enophtalmus in one animal. At the macroscopic evaluation of the explanted hearts, we observed perforation of the left ventricle in one case. This is a safe, easy, and reproducible procedure; it can be performed twice in the same animal with no neurological consequences. It is particularly suitable for longitudinal studies, to minimize the statistical error due to inter-individual variability.

A 54-year-old woman who underwent chest tube placement after a lung biopsy was found on the first postoperative day to have ipsilateral ptosis and miosis, suggesting a Horner syndrome. A chest CT scan showed that the tip of the chest tube was apposed to the stellate ganglion. Repositioning of the chest tube later on the first postoperative day led to complete reversal of the Horner syndrome within 24 hours. We propose that the Horner syndrome arose as a result of pressure on the stellate ganglion, which interrupted neural conduction but did not sever the sympathetic pathway ("neurapraxia"). Whether prompt repositioning of the chest tube was critical in reversing the Horner syndrome is uncertain.

We present the case of a 40-year-old female patient with sudden onset of anisocoria and unilateral ptosis of the left eye. With the exception of several previous episodes of nausea and vomiting, mild headache and tiredness, combined with the early death of the patient's mother following aortic rupture, patient history and clinical condition showed no pathological findings. Following indicative findings on duplex sonography, a dissection of the left internal carotid artery from its origin to its distal section was detected on CT angiography of the brain vessels and the diagnosis of Horner syndrome due to internal carotid artery dissection was made. Since this condition is associated with serious embolic complications, prompt treatment following diagnosis is of utmost importance. Our patient was treated conservatively using PTT (partial thromboplastin time)-effective heparinisation. Regular checks including kidney ultrasound, blood pressure measurement, imaging and continuous therapy with acetylsalicylic acid are recommended.

Horner syndrome, consisting of ipsilateral miosis, upper eye lid ptosis, and facial anhidrosis, has been reported as a rare complication of internal jugular vein catheterization. In this paper, we describe a nine-year-old girl presenting with postganglionic Horner syndrome, in whom right-sided ptosis and miosis occurred after ipsilateral percutaneous internal jugular venous catheterization.

We report a case of Horner's syndrome (HS) occurring as a complication after total thyroidectomy. Horner's syndrome is characterized by myosis, eyelid ptosis, enophthalmos, and lack of sweating, with vascular dilatation of the lateral part of the face, caused by damage of the cervical sympathetic chain. We found only 28 other reports of HS developing after thyroidectomy, and only seven of these patients recovered completely. Of the 495 thyroidectomies performed at our hospital between 1997 and 2007, only one (0.2%) was complicated by the development of HS. The patient was a 35-year-old woman who underwent total thyroidectomy for Basedow-Graves' disease. Horner's syndrome manifested on postoperative day 2, but without anhydrosis or vascular dilatation of the face, and the symptoms resolved spontaneously 3 days later. The possible causes of HS after thyroidectomy include postoperative hematoma, ischemia-induced neural damage, and stretching of the cervical sympathetic chain by the retractor. The prompt and complete recovery of this patient suggests that the cervical sympathetic chain was damaged by retractor stretching.

Tuberothalamic artery infarction (TTAI) results mainly in a myriad of neuropsychological symptoms such as memory impairment, euphoria, apathy, verbal perseverations, constructional apraxia and lack of spontaneity. Language disturbances, acalculia, buccofacial and limb apraxia occur prominently after left TTAI while visual spatial processing deficits and hemispatial neglect occur prominently after the right one. Some cases of TTAI causing Horner's syndrome in addition of these wide-ranging neurobehavioral symptoms have been reported. Here, we report a case of TTAI with an ipsilateral ptosis as main clinical manifestation. This finding suggests that a Horner's syndrome can be the main feature of TTAI when neuropsychological manifestations are inconspicuous.
