	Dr. Koop - Horner's Syndrome- Health Encyclopedia and Reference
		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 may occur as a result of lesions found along the course of the nerve's route from the brain to the eye.
		Second Neuron Horner's Syndrome (preganglionic lesions) may be caused by lung cancer, thoracic tumors, phrenic nerve syndrome, thyroid enlargement, severe osteoarthritis of the neck with bone spurs, spinal cord injury or disease, neck trauma caused by injury, surgery, or severe whiplash.

	Horner's Syndrome
		Horner's syndrome must be differentiated from Uveitis which also produces a constricted pupil and a droopy looking eye.
		Horner's syndrome is associated with damage to the sympathetic innervation to the eye.
		Thus Horner's syndrome may be associated with (strictly in anatomical sequence - not probability) brain tumours, spinal cord injury in the neck, thoracic tumours such as lymphosarcoma, injuries to the neck from fighting, choke collar injury or difficult venipuncture, middle ear infections, and viral, immune mediated or idiopathic neuropathies.

	Medicdirect - Comprehensive UK Health Information
		Horner's syndrome consists of a ptosis (drooping of the upper eyelid), a small pupil and sometimes reduced facial sweating on the affected side.
		Horner's syndrome may occur as a congenital lesion (at or soon after birth) or as an acquired condition at any age.
		Known causes of Horner's syndrome include interruption to the sympathetic nerve in its course through the brain stem and spinal cord by conditions such as stroke, neck trauma, specific forms of migraine, multiple sclerosis and syringomyelia (abnormal development of the spinal cord).

		In appearance, it occurs on one side of the face with a sinking in of the eyeball (enophthalmos), drooping upper eyelid (ptosis), slight elevation of the lower lid, excessive contraction of the pupil of the eye (miosis), narrowing of the eyelid, and an absence of facial sweat on the affected side (anhidrosis).
		Horner's syndrome is caused by damage or interruption of the sympathetic nerve to the eye.
		If the syndrome exists from birth (congenital), it is typically noted around the age of two years with the presence of a variation in the color of the iris and the lack of a crease in the drooping eye.

		Horner syndrome may result from a lesion of the primary neuron; brainstem stroke or tumor or syrinx of the preganglionic neuron; trauma to the brachial plexus; tumors (eg, Pancoast) or infection of the lung apex; a lesion of the postganglionic neuron; dissecting carotid aneurysm; carotid artery ischemia; migraine; or middle cranial fossa neoplasm.
		Horner syndrome may be associated with lesions in the hypothalamus, medulla, or upper cervical cord.
		Horner syndrome may be caused by lesions in the sympathetic chain, superior cervical ganglion, or along the carotid artery resulting from a Pancoast tumor (eg, apical bronchial carcinoma), trauma, or, rarely, from carotid dissection or carotid artery blow out, sarcoidosis, or tuberculosis in the cervical lymph nodes.
