Horner syndrome is a constellation of neurological findings consisting of ipsilateral ptosis, miosis, and anhidrosis. Partial Horner syndrome, comprising ipsilateral ptosis and miosis in the absence of anhidrosis, is a well-documented but uncommon manifestation of internal carotid artery dissection. We report the case of a 42-year-old male patient who presented with ipsilateral ptosis and miosis and was subsequently diagnosed with internal carotid artery dissection. In this case report, we discuss the anatomy of the oculosympathetic pathway and the pharmacological diagnosis for a better understanding of the localization of the lesions causing Horner syndrome.

“…CAD, a well-known cause of ischemic stroke [ 2 ], commonly manifests with ipsilateral pain affecting the head, neck, or face in about 80% of patients [ 1 ]. HS is a relatively uncommon manifestation of CAD and is due to an interruption in the sympathetic chain along its course [ 1 , 3 ].…”

A case of a first rib fracture and Horner's syndrome due to a motor vehicle collision is reported. Initial evaluation in a hospital emergency department and follow-up by a medical primary care physician failed to provide identification of the Horner’s syndrome. Careful assessment and review of the patient’s symptoms, signs and images revealed this uncommon and important neurologic case presentation. A brief discussion related to traumatic first rib fracture, Horner’s syndrome and arterial dissections of the neck is provided.

The aim of this study was to update the practicing ophthalmologist on the English-language neuro-ophthalmology literature from the prior year. This study is a review of English-language literature from August 1, 2012, to August 1, 2013. The authors searched PubMed articles published from August 1, 2012, to August 1, 2013, limited to English-language publications including original articles, review articles, and case reports and excluding letters to the editor, unpublished work, and abstracts. We researched the following topics: pupillary abnormalities, eye movement dysfunction, neuromuscular diseases, optic neuropathies, optic neuritis and demyelinating disease including multiple sclerosis, lesions of the chiasm and posterior primary visual pathways, elevated intracranial pressure, tumors and aneurysms affecting the visual pathways, vascular diseases, higher visual functions, and neuroimaging advances. We intend to share clinically relevant literature of the past year with the practicing ophthalmologist. We aimed to highlight remarkable and interesting literature rather than exhaustively including all new neuro-ophthalmological publications of the year. We reviewed literature in the past year with a focus on relevance and novelty. This review updates the comprehensive ophthalmologist on neuro-ophthalmic topics.
