Osmosis video - Horner syndrome

Horner syndrome is a neurological disorder characterized by the combination of three main symptoms: ptosis (drooping eyelid), miosis (constricted pupil), and anhidrosis (lack of sweating on one side of the body).

Most cases of horner syndrome are caused by damage to the sympathetic nervous system, which can be due to a stroke, tumor, or injury. Less common causes include infections, autoimmune disorders, and medications. Some people also develop horner syndrome as a side effect of cancer treatment.
