Horner Syndrome

Horner syndrome results from an interruption of the sympathetic nerve supply to the eye and is characterized by the classic triad of miosis partial ptosis, and loss of hemifacial sweating.

Decreased sweating on the affected side of the face, Drooping eyelid (ptosis), Sinking of the eyeball into the face, Small (constricted) pupil (the black part in the center of the eye)

Treatment depends on the cause of the problem. There is no treatment for Horner syndrome itself. When certain drugs have caused for the symptoms of the condition, we need to consult our doctor and report for the unusuality. Avoid neck injury, so to avoid the hazards of acquiring Horner’s syndrome.Have or practice a healthy diet and lifestyle. By this we can avoid the predisposing factors of the disease condition

The cervical sympathetic trunk is a bundle of nerves that travels outside the spinal cord back up through the neck to the middle ear. These nerves then connect to new nerves just below the ear, and the new nerves continue to the eye. If the sympathetic nervous system supplying the eyes is damaged or not functioning properly, the parasympathetic system takes over, and Horner's syndrome is the result.
