A two-month-old girl presented with a right Horner's syndrome as the only manifestation of a primary thoracic neuroblastoma. The early diagnosis of this condition allows a cure rate approaching 100 percent. Ophthalmologists should exclude thoracic neuroblastoma in children with Horner's syndrome.

Ten cases of Horner's syndrome with pharmacologic testing and computed tomography scans are described in patients up to age 8 years. The patients also were assessed for iris color and facial sweating. Classical preganglionic Horner's syndrome associated with brachial plexus birth injury was not identified in any case. Two patients who presented with ptosis had neuroblastoma. Two other children had undergone corrective cardiothoracic surgery. Two patients had major congenital abnormalities. In four patients, no cause of Horner's syndrome was determined.

A 5-month-old infant had right Horner syndrome and left hemiplegia. Magnetic resonance imaging confirmed smaller cerebral hemisphere and magnetic resonance angiography showed reduced blood flow in the internal carotid artery on the right. A diagnosis of congenital hemiplegia and carotid occlusion secondary to maternal trauma during pregnancy was made.

A 9-month-old infant presented with Horner syndrome. Magnetic resonance imaging of his head and neck was unremarkable, but magnetic resonance imaging of his chest revealed ectopic cervical thymus. The patient's condition has been managed with imaging studies and close clinical follow-up.

Evaluation of horses for eye problems and for suspected impairment of visual acuity often requires a thorough neuroophthalmic examination to be conducted. Along with a full ophthalmic evaluation, the results of such an examination should indicate the likely site of any lesion(s) accounting for blindness, miosis, mydriasis, anisocoria, Horner's syndrome, strabismus, facial paralysis and facial spasm, nystagmus and other signs of vestibular disease, and cerebellar disorders, that may be present. Such a thorough examination with guidance for correct interpretation of findings is given here.

This chapter on lid function is comprised of two primary sections, the first on normal eyelid anatomy, neurological innervation, and physiology, and the second on abnormal eyelid function in disease states. The eyelids serve several important ocular functions, the primary objectives of which are protection of the anterior globe from injury and maintenance of the ocular tear film. Typical eyelid behaviors to perform these functions include blinking (voluntary, spontaneous, or reflexive), voluntary eye closure (gentle or forced), partial lid lowering during squinting, normal lid retraction during emotional states such as surprise or fear (startle reflex), and coordination of lid movements with vertical eye movements for maximal eye protection. Detailed description of the neurological innervation patterns and neurophysiology of each of these lid behaviors is provided. Abnormal lid function is divided by conditions resulting in excessive lid closure (cerebral ptosis, apraxia of lid opening, blepharospasm, oculomotor palsy, Horner's syndrome, myasthenia gravis, and mechanical) and those resulting in excessive lid opening (midbrain lid retraction, facial nerve palsy, and lid retraction due to orbital disease).

Although there are reports of iatrogenic Horner syndrome in the adult population, pediatric cases are rare. The current report presents a case of acquired Horner syndrome that occurred after an epidural catheter was placed for pain control. Horner syndrome completely resolved after removing the catheter and no imaging or further work-up was necessary. [J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 2018;55:e1-e3.].

Horner syndrome is a rare but likely underdiagnosed complication of tonsillary surgery. The authors report the case of a 2.5-year-old boy who developed miosis and mild ptosis after radiofrequency tonsil ablation surgery. Pharmacologic testing with apraclonidine 0.5% eye drops confirmed left Horner syndrome. This case highlights the close anatomical relationship between the tonsils and cervical sympathetic trunk and draws attention to the occurrence of Horner syndrome after tonsillectomy. [J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 2018;55:e14-e15.].
