RESUMO
Horner syndrome is defined as homolateral miosis, ptosis and enophthalmus, and occurs after a lesion of central or peripheral sympathetic pathways. The syndrome is mentioned as side effect for example with dysraphias, the Wallenberg syndrome, ischemic stroke of the middle cerebral artery, mediastinal tumors or iatrogen after pneumothorax interventions. We recently observed a patient with a transient significant miosis, without ptosis and enophthalmus, which we interpreted as an incomplete manifestation of a Horner syndrome occurring with spontaneous pneumothorax.

Hemiballism is a rare hyperkinetic disorder which is characterized by irregular vigorous rotatory movements of the limbs of one side of the body. The disabling and exhausting movements with their high risk of severe injuries require an acute drug treatment. However, there are no common guidelines for the treatment of this disorder. Therefore we reviewed the available literature to establish a concept for a rational symptomatic drug treatment. Furthermore, own observations in 6 patients with hemiballism of different origins are reported.
