Horner's syndrome results from interruption of the sympathetic innervation to the eye. This interruption may occur at three anatomical levels along the sympathetic trunk pathway. There are numerous causes of Horner's syndrome, including injury to the carotid artery, of which arterial dissection is the commonest pathology. Occlusive carotid disease secondary to atherosclerosis is a relatively rare cause of Horner's syndrome. We describe a patient with Horner's syndrome due to complete occlusion of the ipsilateral internal carotid artery.
霍纳综合征是由于眼部交感神经支配中断引起的。这种中断可能沿着交感干通路在三个解剖水平发生。霍纳综合征有许多原因,包括颈动脉损伤,其中动脉夹层是最常见的病理类型。动脉粥样硬化引起的闭塞性颈动脉疾病是霍纳综合征相对罕见的原因。我们描述了一例由于同侧颈内动脉完全闭塞导致霍纳综合征的患者。
