Horner Syndrome: A Rare Complication of Cervical and Thoracic Herpes Zoster Infection

“…5,6 However, in the case of herpes zoster ophthalmicus, other potential mechanisms have been considered, including ischemic neuritis of the third, fourth, or sixth cranial nerves; a mesencephalic lesion caused by axonal spread of the virus; inflammation by contiguity leading to myositis; or even immune-mediated demyelination due to local or remote viral spread. 7 1578-2190/© 2014 Elsevier España, S.L.U. and AEDV.…”

Combination of Abducens Nerve Palsy and Ipsilateral Postganglionic Horner Syndrome as an Initial Manifestation of Uterine Cervical Cancer

“…1). In 1979, Parkinson (21) (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19). Regarding the causes, intracavernous ICA aneurysm (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8), occlusion of ICA (9), cavernous sinus thrombosis (10), trauma (11,12), Wegener's granulomatosis (13), herpes zoster ophthalmicus arteritis (14), sphenoidal cyst (1), epipharynx carcinoma (1), chordoma in the middle and posterior cranial fossa (1), meningioma in the middle cranial fossa (1), pituitary adenoma (6), carcinoma in the maxillary sinus (15), and metastatic neoplasm within the cavernous sinus (1,5,(16)(17)(18)(19) (17), and 3 undetermined origin (18,…”

“…The combination of abducens nerve palsy and ipsilateral postganglionic Horner syndrome has rarely been reported (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19). This combination of symptoms may indicate a lesion located in the posterior portion of the cavernous sinus or in its vicinity, where postganglionic sympathetic fibers enter the cavernous sinus with the internal carotid artery and join the abducens nerve for a short distance ( Fig.…”

Abducens Nerve Palsy and Ipsilateral Incomplete Horner Syndrome: A Significant Sign of Locating the Lesion in the Posterior Cavernous Sinus

“…and there are 19 cases in the English language literature (6,(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14). Another 8 cases were added by Tsuda et al in 2006 (4) (3,4).…”
