The Development of Horner Syndrome following a Stabbing

Abstract

The features of Horner Syndrome are miosis, ptosis, enophthalmos, and anhidrosis on the same side as the etiologic pathology. Its causes include tumours, aneurysms, neck and chest surgery, and neck and chest trauma. This paper presents a case of Horner Syndrome due to a haemopneumothorax following penetrating chest trauma.

Horner's syndrome in cervico-dorsal tuberculosis: A rare case report

“…The sudomotor and vasomotor fibers to most of the face separate out at the superior cervical ganglion and anhidrosis is often not noticeable in postganglionic lesions. 5 Clinical features and blood reports led us to the diagnosis of tuberculosis. MRI further supported our diagnosis as it showed spondylodiscitis of cervico-dorsal spine with pre-, para-, and epidural abscess.…”

A Rare Cause of Horner Syndrome: Arteria Lusoria

“…The causes include tumour infiltration, compression by a lesion such as an aneurysm, iatrogenic causes, and traumatic injuries [2]. This paper presents a case of Horner Syndrome due to a rare cause, a congenital anomaly of the aortic arch, arteria lusoria.…”

Horner syndrome due to blunt thoracic trauma

“…1 This pathway can be divided into three neurons: the first-order neuron originates from the hypothalamus, the second-order neuron connects the stellate and middle cervical ganglion and ends in the superior cervical ganglion, and the third-order neuron exits the superior cervical ganglion and innervates the levator palpebrae superioris and dilator pupillae muscles. 2 The classic triad in this syndrome is homolateral palpebral ptosis, miosis, and anhidrosis. Brain stem lesions, cervical spine dislocation, carotid dissection, thoracic and cervical surgical procedures are well-known etiologies of this entity.…”
