Raeder's paratrigeminal syndrome is a disorder manifested by unilateral ptosis, miosis, intact facial sweating, and severe pain in the distribution of the ophthalmic division of the fifth nerve. It is a clinical pattern where, usually, a middle-aged male gets a severe throbbing supraorbital headache accompanied by ptosis and miosis. The headache is intermittently present for several weeks or months. Facial sweating may or may not be affected. This report describes a female with Raeder's syndrome who had unilateral facial anhibrosis.

Raeder's syndrome consists of ipsilateral ptosis, miosis and facial pain with intact facial sweating. When not associated with other neurologic signs, the clinical course of this conditions is self-limited. Patients will have resolution of facial pain but persistence of miosis and ptosis. Treatment is symptomatic with arteriography reserved for those patients with protracted symptoms or atypical presentations. A case of Raeder's paratrigeminal syndrome is presented with abnormal dilation of the subcavernous portion of the internal carotid artery thought to be secondary to inflammation of the adjacent sphenoid sinus. Facial pain and the abnormal dilation of the carotid artery resolved, but miosis and ptosis persisted. Because of the therapeutic indication and prognostic value, an awareness of Raeder's syndrome is stressed when evaluating patients with facial pain or possible Horner's syndrome.

Raeder's paratrigeminal syndrome is an uncommon neurologic disorder characterized by oculosympathetic paralysis, including ptosis and miosis. In the ED, this syndrome can be easily confused with Horner's syndrome, although with Raeder's syndrome trigeninal nerve irritation and preservation of facial sweating are noted. This report reviews a case of a 62-year-old man who presented to the ED with signs and symptoms consistent with Raeder's syndrome. MRI with angiography revealed a carotid artery dissection, and the patient was admitted and anticoagulated. The syndrome has been associated with head trauma, hypertension, vasculitis, migraine headaches, parasellar mass lesions, and internal carotid artery dissections. Hence, treatment of the patient who has Raeder's syndrome is dependent on the specific underlying lesion.
