Horner's syndrome: A combined clinical, pharmacological, and imaging algorithm.
Horner's syndrome in an African spotted eagle owl (Bubo africanus).
Horner's syndrome (also called oculosympathetic paresis) typically consists of miosis, ptosis, and hemifacial anhidrosis and is a well-described neurological syndrome that is useful clinically for neurological localization.

Though the diagnosis of
Horner's syndrome is rare in pediatric patients, potential serious underlying etiologies raise concern.
Sympathetic innervation disorders may cause
Horner's syndrome (Monteiro and Coppeto, 1988; Singh et al., 2004; Zafeiriou et al., 2006) as well as they are suppressed secretion of melatonin which is necessary for photo- periodcial stimulus of the reproduction function and synthesized from the pineal gland (Karasek et al., 2002; Maurel et al., 2002).
were observed in this study, except one patient (4%) in Group-C had
Horner's syndrome. 20% in Group-C and 12% in Group-L had post-operative nausea and vomiting (P>0.05, not statistically significant, Table-7).
Congenital
Horner's syndrome resulting from agenesis of the internal carotid artery.
Oculosympathetic palsy or
Horner's syndrome is the triad of meiosis, ptosis, and anhidrosis that results from disruption of the sympathetic pathways between the brain and the eye.
Hemiplegia Vegetativa Alterna (HVA) is the clinical condition characterized with ipsilateral
Horner's syndrome (HS) and contralateral hemi-hyperhidrosis and is mainly used to define the condition at stroke patients with posterior cerebral artery (PCA) or middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion (1,2).
A thorough examination of the upper limb may require examination of the eyes (to exclude
Horner's syndrome), an assessment of neck movement, a vascular assessment, breast and axilla palpation and a neurological assessment of the lower limbs.
