Horner's Syndrome (horner's + syndrome)
Selected AbstractsPenetrating injury at the thoracic inlet in a Paint-Arab mareEQUINE VETERINARY EDUCATION, Issue 12 2009Y. R. Rojman Summary A 12-year-old Paint-Arab mare was admitted for evaluation of a penetrating chest laceration at the thoracic inlet. The left brachiocephalic muscle was transected and the recurrent laryngeal nerve was traumatised. Subsequent to the injury, the horse developed Horner's syndrome on the left side of the neck and face, Grade IV left laryngeal hemiplegia, dysphagia, cough and subcutaneous emphysema. The defect was closed in multiple layers. Antimicrobial and antiinflammatory therapy was instituted along with local wound care. The mare remained bright and responsive and the wound healed normally. The mare showed no signs of respiratory distress. Dysphagia and ptosis persisted at 30 days post trauma.

Prakash MD This is the first case report of a chinese patient with SUNCT (shortlasting, unilateral, neuralgiform headache attacks with conjunctival injection and tearing) presenting with persistent Horner's syndrome. She had episodic, brief, right periorbital pain in association with ipsilateral eye injection, lacrimation and rhinorrhea as well as persistent ipsilateral miosis and ptosis. She had partial response to a combination of indomethacin and carbamazepine therapy.

The authors found hemiparesis of his right limbs, right Horner's syndrome, and decreased pain and temperature sensation of his right face and left limbs. Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) showed an acute small infarct located on the right side of the lateral lower medulla. This is the first report of Opalski's syndrome with lower medullary infarction detected by DWI. [source] Histopathological basis of Horner's syndrome in obstetric brachial plexus palsy differs from that in adult brachial plexus injuryMUSCLE AND NERVE, Issue 5 2008Yi-Gang Huang MD Abstract Although Horner's syndrome is usually taken as an absolute indicator of avulsions of the C8 and T1 ventral roots in adult brachial plexus injury, its pathological basis in obstetric brachial plexus palsy (OBPP) is unclear. We therefore examined the morphological mechanism for the presence of Horner's syndrome in brachial plexus injury in infants and adults. Some axons of sympathetic preganglionic neurons in T1 innervate the superior cervical ganglion via the C7 ventral root in infants but not in adults. Therefore, the presence of Horner's syndrome may relate in part to avulsion of the C7 root in OBPP. These findings suggest that Horner's syndrome in OBPP is not necessarily indicative of avulsions of the C8 and T1 roots, as it can occur with avulsion of the C7 root.
