A 52-year-old man developed a unilateral Horner syndrome following a skiing accident. He was otherwise asymptomatic. Neuroimaging with magnetic resonance revealed bilateral internal carotid artery dissections, and he was urgently treated with anticoagulation. Immediate neuroimaging should be performed in any patient with Horner syndrome following trauma, regardless of other symptoms or signs.

Lateral medullary syndrome (LMS) is a neurological disorder usually presenting as loss of pain and thermal sensation over the ipsilateral face and contralateral half of the body, ipsilateral limb ataxia, Horner's syndrome, dysphagia, nystagmus, hiccups among other symptoms but never with limb weakness. In the present case, the patient presented with ipsilateral hemiparesis, which can be attributed to the extension of the infarct caudally beyond the pyramidal decussation, affecting the corticospinal fibers in the upper cervical cord, a variant of LMS, known as Opalski syndrome (OS).

Brachial plexus birth injury (BPBI) is a condition affecting newborns and involves damage to the nerve fibers compromising the brachial plexus during birth. Although most newborns recover spontaneously, a large subset require surgery to regain function, and others will have permanent disability despite intervention. Deciding when to pursue surgical intervention remains a challenge for clinicians treating BPBI.

Objective: To report ocular examination findings before and after total ear canal ablation and lateral bulla osteotomy (TECALBO) and ventral bulla osteotomy (VBO) in cats and dogs.
Methods: At The Ohio State University and MedVet Columbus, ophthalmic examinations were performed on client-owned animals for which a TECALBO or VBO was indicated. Examination findings and postoperative complications relating to ophthalmic and/or neuro-ophthalmic diseases were recorded prior to surgery (T0) and at 1 day (T1), 2 to 3 weeks (T14), and ± 2 months (T60) postoperatively.
