c. abascal azanza, R. abárzuza cortaire, P. Plaza Ramos REsUMEn El Síndrome de Horner (SH) es un síndrome neuroló-gico 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. aBstRactHorner'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.
