Selected lid problems in neurologic practice

Horner’s syndrome, Pseudo-Horner’s syndrome, and simple anisocoria

This discussion reviews the common causes of Horner's syndrome, with emphasis on case reports from the past several years.

This new literature is discussed in the context of the current standards for clinical diagnosis.
