Eagle's syndrome (ES) is characterised by an abnormally elongated styloid process. It remains a complex pathology and the ophthalmological symptoms are relatively rare. Herein, we report two cases who presented to our clinic with unilateral and painful Horner's syndrome. Computed tomography scanning showed the presence of ES with unilateral extrinsic compression of the sympathetic plexus by the styloid.

Unveiling the Uncommon: A Case Report of Horner's Syndrome as a Rare Glimpse Into Giant Cell Arteritis.
Case Rep Neurol Med

Department of Neurology, Mayo Clinic, Phoenix, Arizona, USA.
Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is an inflammatory vasculitis affecting large and medium-sized arteries, leading to complications such as arterial dissection, blindness, and stroke. Rarely, GCA presents with Horner's syndrome due to sympathetic neuron involvement from arterial inflammation. This case report discusses an 82-year-old female with hypertension, atrial fibrillation, and arthritis who presented with a 24 h history of right eye ptosis, blurred vision, dizziness, and aching eye pain.

Importance: For hospitalized critically ill adults with suspected sepsis, procalcitonin (PCT) and C-reactive protein (CRP) monitoring protocols can guide the duration of antibiotic therapy, but the evidence of the effect and safety of these protocols remains uncertain.
Objective: To determine whether decisions based on assessment of CRP or PCT safely results in a reduction in the duration of antibiotic therapy.
Design, Setting, And Participants: A multicenter, intervention-concealed randomized clinical trial, involving 2760 adults (≥18 years), in 41 UK National Health Service (NHS) intensive care units, requiring critical care within 24 hours of initiating intravenous antibiotics for suspected sepsis and likely to continue antibiotics for at least 72 hours.
Efficacy of palliative hemostatic radiotherapy for tumor bleeding and pain relief in locally advanced pelvic gynecological malignancies.

Department of Radiation Oncology, Heidelberg University Hospital, Im Neuenheimer Feld 400, 69120, Heidelberg, Germany.
Purpose: The appearance of symptomatic tumor-related vaginal bleeding and pain in advanced incurable cancer patients with pelvic gynecological malignancies remains a therapeutic challenge in oncological treatment. The aim of our analysis was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of palliative hemostatic radiotherapy.
Methods: We retrospectively identified patients who had received palliative hemostatic radiotherapy (RT) at our institution between 2011 and 2023 and evaluated acute toxicity, local control, cessation of bleeding, and pain relief.
Horner's syndrome caused by the first rib fracture sustained during coronary artery bypass grafting: a case report and literature review.

Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Kagoshima Medical Center, 8-1, Shiroyamacho, Kagoshima, Kagoshima, 892-0853, Japan.
Background: Horner's syndrome is a rare complication of cardiovascular surgery. A bone fragment and hematoma due to rib fracture after cardiac surgery may cause injury to the brachial nerve plexus and sympathetic nerve trunk, leading to neurologic disorders and Horner's syndrome. However, few reports have revealed the etiology of Horner's syndrome after cardiovascular surgery based on imaging.

Regional anaesthesia (RA) techniques have increased in popularity due to evidence of reductions in acute pain, chronic pain, postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), and pulmonary complications. While upper extremity blocks (UEBs) have been the subject of several comprehensive reviews, no review to date has synthesised the information on their use in hand surgery. A search of PUBMED and Cochrane databases was performed to identify the evidence associated with upper extremity blocks.
