Published: May 2008

Horner's syndrome, or oculosympathetic paresis, results from interruption of the sympathetic trunk innervation to the eye and presents typically with meiosis, ptosis and facial anhydrosis on the affected side.(1) The pathological process ranges from benign, such as cluster headache, or life threatening, such as lung malignancy.
