Overview

In three instructive case reports the authors recall their experience with etiological diagnostics of the causative lesion in Horner’s syndrome:

1. The inborn form of the syndrome found in a 6-week old newborn followed up for 12 years.

2. Anisocoria in Horner’s syndrome diagnosed on oneself by chance by a 60-year old physician fearing an intracerebral aneurysm. The picture was a part of cluster hemicrania and the case report acquainting with its development over the next ten years.

3. In a 50-year old hypertonic patient with amaurosis in one eye upon occlussion of arteria centralis retinae proceded by Horner’s syndrome following a lesion of periarterial n. sympathicus accompanying a sclerotic occlusion of the internal carotic artery. Followed up for ten years.

Key words:
Horner’s syndrome – cluster hemicrania – occlusion of arteria carotis interna – heterochromia of the iris and inborn Horner’s syndrome.
