Causes and Risks There are many potential causes of Horner's syndrome. Any interruption of the sympathetic nerve fibers which start in the hypothalamus (a central brain region) and run via the upper spinal cord near the carotid artery and to the face may lead to Horner's syndrome. Such injuries can result from a stroke in the brainstem, injury to the carotid artery, a tumour in the upper lobe of the lung and cluster headaches. Rarely, Horner's syndrome may be congenital (present at birth) and associated with a lack of pigmentation of the iris. Eye drops and certain medications may also lead to this condition.

Neurological Examination Pupillary Responses Previous Page Next Page Sympathetic Innervation of the Pupil and the Horner's Syndrome Sympathetic fibers arise in the postero-lateral hypothalamus, and synapse at the T1 spinal level, where the 2nd order neuron exits the CNS. This neuron synapses in the superior cervical ganglion, and the third order neuron accompanies the carotid artery into the head. Branches accompanying the external carotid supply the vessels and sweat glands of the face (except for a small patch of the medial forehead, which is supplied by fibers accompanying the internal carotid artery). Fibers accompanying the internal carotid join join the 3rd nerve in the cavernous sinus, and then enter the orbit. These fibers innervate the pupillary dilators, and MÅller's muscle in the eye-lid. Sympathetic lesions will result in the Horner's syndrome , consisting of meiosis (the anisocoria [unequal pupils] is most obvious in dim light), ptosis , which is very mild (unlike ptosis from IIIrd nerve lesions, which is often complete), and anhidrosis (lack of sweating on half of the face). Anhidrosis may be confined to the medial forehead with lesions at the level of the internal carotid artery or cavernous sinus.

Home page Pupillary responses Pupillary light reflex Afferent limb Efferent limb Convergence: The near triad. ... Physiologic (normal) anisocoria: The pupils are under the control of parasympathetic (CN III) and sympathetic fibers. The activity in these nerves is dictated by the level of illumination (CN II), changes between far and near fixation (CN II), and by non-visual input into the autonomic system. Pupillary light reflex Increases in light falling on the retina result in pupillary constriction. Shining a light in one eye will result in constriction of both pupils equally: the constriction of the ipsilateral pupil is called the direct response, and the constriction of the contralateral pupil, the consensual response. Afferent limb Anatomy: Light falls on the retina, is transformed into nerve impulses, which travel through the optic nerve, chiasm, and the optic tracts. Fibers leave the optic tracts to enter the midbrain, where, after synapsing in the pre-tectal nuclei, they terminate in the Edinger-Westphal nucleus. Exam: relative afferent pupillary defect : relative because it is relative to the other eye (if there were equal bilateral lesions, you would not see it); and afferent, because it indicates a lesion of the afferent arc of the pupillary light reflex, namely, the optic nerve. The relative afferent pupillary defect is one of the most specific signs in medicine: it almost always indicates a lesion of the optic nerve, and it is almost never seen with lesions of the retina, vitreous, or cornea.

I have a cat that seems healthy in all ways except that for the past several days he has had both his third eyes one third the way up. He jumps and plays, eats great, and there is no discharge or obvious irritation to the eyes and no light sensitivity. I am just wondering if there are any infections or treatable causes that would only have this symptom. Haw's seems the likey cause, but there is no treatment except tincture of time I understand. What causes the Sympathetic nerve irritation? The other two cats (they are all close and sleep together) are unaffected. I must find a new Vet in my area since my own closed her practice recently. I am just wondering if I need to find a new Vet fast or do some watchful waiting. I found a site belonging to http://www.eyevet.ca/ a Vet ophthamologist, but not much else on Haw's.

Neuro-ophthalmology: Case nine Figure 1 Figure 2 This 75 year-old woman had had this facial appearance following treatment for Raynaud's disease 15 years ago. a. What do the pictures show and what is the diagnosis? Figure 1 shows bilateral ptosis and figure 2 shows bilateral sympathetomy scars on the upper chest wall. The diagnosis is bilateral Horner's syndrome secondary to bilateral sympathetomy for Raynaud's disease. Raynaud's disease is Raynaud's phenomenon in the absence of underlying disease. It consists of spasm of the arteries precipitated by cold and relieved by heat. There is an initial skin pallor resulting from vasoconstriction which is followed by cyanosis caused by slow blood flow. Redness eventually occurs owing to hyperaemia. The symptoms consist of pain and numbness especially during the re-warming period. b. How would you manage the ocular problems? The best corrective procedure for mild ptosis as in Horner's syndrome would be Fasanella Servat procedure in which some of the upper tarsal plate is excised. c. What treatment is now used for Raynaud's disease?

Horner's Syndrome The patient has a slight right ptosis with ipsilateral miosis(you may need to shield the eyes or dim the light to accentuate the anisocoria). There is an apparent right enophthalmos. Additional signs (which may be difficult to detect) are anhydrosis and vasodilation of head and neck if the lesion were pre-ganglionic. Look for the cause: difference in eye colour in congenital Horner's syndrome (as in this case, the right eye is lighter than the left) neck scar as in thryoidectomy wasting of ipsilateral hand muscles due to brachial plexus lesion as in Pancoast's tumour scars below the claivcle from sympathetomy for Raynaud's disease (this is an out-dated treatment) Questions: 1. What is the cause enophthalmos in Horner's syndrome? answer The patient has apparent enophthalmos due to narrowing of the palpebral fissure. This enophthalmos is not true enophthalmos and cannot be demonstrated with exophthalmometer. It is causes by the ptosis and updrawing of the lower lid as a result of paralysis of the Muller's muscle of the upper lid and the smooth muscle of the lower lid retractor.

Horner's Syndrome Horner's Syndrome is a disorder of the nervous system which produces symptoms in the eyes. This disorder usually occurs after an injury to the sympathetic nerve leading to the eye. Such injury can be due to a trauma to the nerve, viral infection, a tumor or mass which puts pressure on the nerve, or an inflammation of the nerve. Since the nerve travels from the brain down the neck through the chest and then to the eye, trauma in the brain, chest or neck can lead to Horner's Syndrome. Due to this specific damage the eyes begin receiving abnormal nerve signals. Due to these abnormal signals one usually sees one or more of the following symptoms: excessive smallness or contraction of the pupil of the eye (miosis), two different sized pupils (the affected pupil will usually be smaller than normal), visibility of third eyelid, drooping eyelids (ptosis), or sinking of the eyeball into the orbital cavity (enophthalmos). These symptoms are usually seen in one side only, however both sides can be affected. Horner's syndrome in and of itself is not life threatening and usually will clear up on its own.

Roig Hospital de Sant Pau, Servicio de Neurología, Barcelona, Spain We present one of the few documented cases of Horner's syndrome as a manifestation of biopsy-proven giant-cell arteritis. An 84-year-old man with jaw claudication and slight elevation of ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) presented ptosis and left pupil miosis. A 1% phenylephrine instillation produced dilatation of the affected pupil, suggesting postganglionic rather than preganglionic involvement. Temporal arteritis should be considered in an elderly patient with Horner's syndrome. Keywords: Horner's syndrome , giant cell arteritis .

Home Preventative Pet Care General Pet Care Cancer and Tumors ... Behavior A "syndrome" is a collection of symptoms that have meaning when they go together. It is important to realize that having a syndrome is not the same as having a diagnosis. A syndrome, however, often has a limited number of causes such that recognizing a specific syndrome brings one substantially closer to a specific diagnosis. WHAT IS HORNER'S SYNDROME? Horner's syndrome consists of five signs: Constricted Pupil Elevation of the Third Eyelid Retraction of the eyeball into the head Slight drooping of the Eyelid Increased pink color and warmth of the ear and nose on the affected side (very hard to detect in small animals) All these signs are caused by damage to sympathetic nervous system as it supplies the eye on the affected side of the head. WHAT IS THE SYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM? Our bodies have numerous functions that are controlled by our nervous systems yet we are completely unaware of them. Our heart and respiratory rates, the amount of sweat and other secretions we produce, circulation to different body areas, pupil dilation and constriction are all regulated by our nervous systems automatically and without our knowledge or control. The part of our nervous system dedicated to these automatic systems is called the "Autonomic nervous system".

W X Y Z Horner's Syndrome Definition Horner's syndrome is a eye disorder that consists of enophthalmos (sinking of the eyeball into its cavity), ptosis (droopy upper eyelid), swelling of the lower eyelid, miosis (abnormal contraction of the pupil), anhidrosis (absence of facial sweat) and heterochromia (difference in eye color). Horner's syndrome is caused by paralysis of the cervical sympathetic nerves. (Back to Top) Description To better understand Horner's syndrome, one needs to understand how the nervous system works. There are two major divisions within the nervous system. There is the part of the nervous system that you are aware of and have control over, and there is a part of the nervous system that is under automatic control, called the autonomic nervous system. Within the autonomic nervous system there are two divisions, the sympathetic and the parasympathetic nervous systems. The sympathetic nervous system controls many of the involuntary activities of the glands, organs and other body parts. The parasympathetic nervous system also controls the involuntary activities of the organs, glands as well as blood vessels and other tissues in the body. The eye has both sympathetic and parasympathetic function (innervation). If something were to block the sympathetic impulses into the eye, there would be an overbalance of parasympathetic supply to the eye. The result is Horner's syndrome.
