Horner syndrome can be caused by a wide range of pathologies along the sympathetic nerve chain, from the hypothalamus to the orbit. Imaging workup of Horner syndrome is necessary given the potential for deadly lesions, especially in a patient with a previous cancer history. The authors report a case of a woman who presented with a preganglionic Horner syndrome secondary to vertebral metastasis from previously diagnosed breast cancer that involved the neural foramina at T1 and T2.

Horner's syndrome consists of an injury to the sympathetic pupillary pathway, Described with the triad: ptosis, miosis, and anhidrosis. Recognizing the signs of this syndrome, their levels of injury and causes are of paramount importance to the clinician. Case: A 38-year-old female patient presented with ptosis of the upper eyelid, right eye, 2 months of evolution, growth of axillary ganglion 4 years ago, also cough of 6-month duration, and 6 kg weight loss in 3 months. Exploration: mild ptosis, greater anisocoria in the dark, and right miosis. Systemic exploration: right breast tumor of 6 cm, adhered to deep planes. The patient was referred to an oncological center. This case is important because there is a widespread of prevention programs; however, there are still people who continue to hide their diseases, and we must not forget that the eyeball is a key point to detect systemic diseases.
