“…The isolated HS associated with sinusitis of our case probably occurred with the same pathological mechanism as Raeder syndrome already reported in other sinus infections [13]. This syndrome first affects the third neuron of the oculosympathetic pathway, which arises from the superior cervical ganglion and enters the skull vault bordering the internal carotid artery into the cavernous sinus [2].…”

Background Horner’s syndrome (HS) is characterized by unilateral ptosis, ipsilateral miosis with normally reactive pupil, and in some cases, ipsilateral facial anhidrosis. Case presentation We report an adult male presenting with ptosis. Neurological examination revealed ptosis and miosis in the right eye. Anhidrosis was not observed, and the patient did not complain about it. Laboratory tests were within normal limits. He had searched a general practitioner because of purulent nasal discharge, nasal obstruction, and anosmia. He was diagnosed with acute rhinosinusitis. Symptomatic treatment was started. The subject had full recovery of the nasal symptoms, but his right upper eyelid was drooping progressively. In the follow-up, after the third month, the patient was recovering from ptosis and miosis. In 1 year, the ptosis was minor with less than 1 mm and miosis was no more observed. Discussion A few cases of HS secondary to a sinus infection have been reported in the literature. To the authors’ knowledge, there are only two case reports of individuals who developed sinusitis and Horner’s syndrome. The present case is the first to present isolated HS features. Our report suggests that sinusitis should be listed as a probable cause of isolated Horner’s syndrome. Moreover, patients presenting with this presentation probably have a good prognosis.

Benign Raeder's Syndrome is Probably a Manifestation of Carotid Artery Disease

Raeder first described Horner's syndrome with ipsilateral head pain due to paratrigeminal organic disease, but most subsequent reports of this syndrome were idiopathic. Our recent case prompted a review of past reports of idiopathic Raeder's syndrome. Because in recent years the features of Raeder's syndrome have been recognized as common manifestations of carotid artery dissection, we divided the cases into those with and those without carotid imaging studies. The classifications and differential diagnoses are discussed. Sixteen cases with carotid imaging studies were not very different from the 28 cases without such studies. Most studies were performed several weeks after onset of symptoms and carotid dissection could not be definitely excluded in any case. In most cases of idiopathic Raeder's syndrome, carotid artery dissection was not considered and in no case was that condition definitively excluded. People with Raeder's syndrome not associated with a paratrigeminal organic lesion probably have a disease of the carotid artery. Because of the different criteria and classifications of Raeder's syndrome it is best to relegate this eponym to history.

“…A somewhat similar case report has been described by DeWitt and Thompson. 2 The patient described in their report had a maxillary sinusitis with associated Raeder's paratrigeminal syndrome. This was associated with right ptosis and miosis, as well as a sweat defect.…”
