Horner's Syndrome (HS) is a neurological syndrome characterised by the triad incomplete pupillary miosis, palpebral ptosis and facial anhidrosis, due to a lesion of the oculosympathetic pathway, formed of three neurons from the hipothalamus to the eye. Identifying its cause is a diagnostic challenge since in spite of its apparent lack of clinical importance, HS can be the first or only manifestation of a serious, or even potentially mortal disorder. We present the case of a 19-year-old male patient with a history of nonspecific ocular pains of two months evolution. He attended the emergency ophthalmological clinic where he was diagnosed with an HS as the first clinical manifestation of Hodgkin lymphoma.

El Síndrome de Horner (SH) es un síndrome neurológico que se caracteriza por la triada miosis pupilar incompleta, ptosis palpebral y anhidrosis facial debido a la lesión de la vía oculosimpática, compuesta por tres neuronas, desde el hipotálamo hasta el ojo. Identificar su causa representa un reto diagnóstico ya que, a pesar de su aparente levedad clínica, el SH puede ser la primera o única manifestación de un trastorno grave o incluso potencialmente mortal. Presentamos el caso de un paciente varón de 19 años con una historia de molestias oculares inespecíficas de dos meses de evolución. Acudió a la consulta de urgencias de Oftalmología en la que fue diagnosticado de un SH como primera manifestación clínica de linfoma de Hodgkin (AU)
