An 8-month-old baby girl, who accompanied her sister with an eye problem, was incidentally noticed to have smaller left eye compared to the right. The mother said that it had been present for 2 months. The child showed no detectable focal neurological deficits. Her vision was age appropriate in both eyes. A slight left-sided ptosis was present. Her eye movements were full in both eyes and there was no evidence of strabismus. Bilateral fundus examination was normal. The child had anisocoria (left pupil being smaller than the right one) and left hemifacial anhidrosis, which prompted the diagnosis of Horner's syndrome. Magnetic resonance imaging of her chest showed a mass lesion in the apical region of the left lung which was later excised and found to be a neuroblastoma. This emphasizes the importance of having an eye on the siblings of children who come to the hospital.
一名8个月大的女婴陪姐姐来看眼睛问题时,偶然被发现左眼比右眼小。母亲说这种情况已经出现两个月了。孩子没有可检测到的局灶性神经功能缺损。她双眼视力与年龄相符。有轻微的左侧上睑下垂。双眼眼球运动正常,没有斜视迹象。双侧眼底检查正常。孩子有瞳孔不等大(左侧瞳孔比右侧小)和左侧半侧面部无汗,这提示诊断为霍纳综合征。胸部磁共振成像显示左肺尖部有一个肿块,后来切除后发现是神经母细胞瘤。这强调了关注来医院就诊儿童的兄弟姐妹的重要性。
