ABSTRACT

El síndrome de Horner está caracterizado por la siguiente tríada de signos clínicos: miosis, ptosis y anhidrosis facial. A su vez, pueden aparecer heterocromía del iris, inyección conjuntival, eritema facial, mucosa nasal congestiva y enoftalmos aparente secundario a la disminución de la hendidura palpebral. Es causado por una interrupción de la vía simpática, que se extiende desde el hipotálamo hasta la órbita. Debido a que dicha vía no se decusa, los signos son homolaterales a la lesión de esta. Tradicionalmente, se lo clasifica en congénito y adquirido. En ocasiones, se asocia a neoplasias, como el neuroblastoma. Sigue siendo controversial qué estudios de imágenes se deberían solicitar en forma protocolizada frente a un paciente con este síndrome neurológico. Se presenta el caso de un lactante de 45 días de vida con síndrome de Horner congénito.


Horner syndrome is characterized by the following triad of clinical signs: miosis, ptosis and facial anhidrosis. In addition, iris heterochromia, conjunctival injection, facial erythema, congestive nasal mucosa and apparent enophthalmos secondary to the reduction of the palpebral fissure can appear. It is caused by an interruption of the sympathetic pathway that extends from the hypothalamus to the orbit. Because there is no decussation, the signs are homolateral to the lesion. Traditionally, it is classified as congenital and acquired. Occasionally, it is associated with neoplasias such as neuroblastoma. It remains controversial what imaging studies should be requested as a protocolized workup of this neurological syndrome in a patient. We report the case of a 45-day-old infant with congenital Horner syndrome.

ABSTRACT

El Síndrome de Horner se refiere a una constelación de signos, los cuales resultan por la interrupción de inervación simpática del ojo y sus anexos. La etiología del mismo varía según la edad del paciente, y puede incluir condiciones que amenazan la vida. En el primer trabajo se presenta para su análisis y discusión el caso de una paciente en edad pediátrica con diagnóstico de síndrome de Horner congénito...

ABSTRACT

We present a seven-month-old baby with miosis of the left pupil, left hypochromia, mild ipsilateral ptosis, left hemifacial anhidrosis and asymmetrical facial flushing. A diagnosis of Horner's syndrome (HS) was presumed and was confirmed by instillation of apraclonidine eye drops. Miosis was reversed upon apraclonidine instillation. Magnetic resonance imaging of the head, neck and thorax and ultrasonography of the neck and abdomen did not reveal any pathological conditions. Although delivery-related brachial plexus injury is known as the most common cause of congenital HS, it should be investigated and should include neuroimaging of the sympathetic pathway, to exclude a serious underlying disease. As in our case, a specific etiology may not always be elicited. Pharmacological testing with apraclonidine may be a practical alternative to cocaine in the diagnosis of HS.
