Abstract Background Horner syndrome is caused by disruption to any part of the oculosympathetic nerve supply, and classically characterized triad ptosis, miosis, facial anhidrosis. Two cases secondary longus colli edema have previously been reported in literature; however, this first case bilateral asymmetric inflammation causing unilateral syndrome.

A 64-year-old man presented with sudden onset of right-sided hemiparesis, headache, gait disturbance, and recurrent vomiting. A physical examination revealed right-sided hemiparesis, right Horner syndrome, ataxia of the right limbs, and diminished sensation on the left side of his body.

INTRODUCTION  The Pancoast syndrome (PS) has been termed after Henry Pancoast. Its neurologic core symptoms include pain, radicular sensory and motor syndromes, and Horner syndrome. A PS is often the presenting sign of lung cancer and bears a grim prognosis. METHODS  This case report describes an atypical onset of a lung tumor causing a PS. Electrophysiological examination was not conclusive....

Craniofacial and limb abnormalities are characteristic of amniogenic band syndrome. We present the ocular findings of a patient with this syndrome and compare these abnormalities with those in 20 previously reported cases.

[reaction: see text] The weak base lithium 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropoxide (LiHFI) is shown to be highly effective as a reagent for intermolecular Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons (HWE) olefination of epimerizable aldehydes with trimethyl phosphonoacetate, affording products with little or no epimerization and notably high E-selectivity.
