Based on your answers it is unlikely that you have Horner syndrome. Horner syndrome is a relatively rare disorder that results from damage to a group of nerves known as the sympathetic nerves of the face. It is usually the result of an underlying disease, such as a stroke, spinal cord injury or tumor. Also, the cause of Horner's syndrome can often remain unknown. Rarely, Horner's syndrome can be a congenital disorder. In this case, the colored parts of the eyes (irises) can be of different colors; specifically one iris will be colorless. The symptoms and signs of Horner's syndrome appear only on one side of the face.
Based on your answers there is a possibility that you have Horner syndrome. Horner syndrome is actually a group of symptoms that occur together due to damage to the nerves that connect the brain to your eyes and face.
Based on your answers there is a high possibility that you have Horner syndrome. Horner syndrome is a combination of symptoms that occur due to damage to the sympathetic nerves. The sympathetic nerves control involuntary functions, such as sweating and narrowing and dilation of the pupils of the eye. The symptoms themselves are not serious but are usually caused by some severe medical problem. Horner's syndrome affects both men and women. It can occur at any age and affects people of all races and ethnic groups. Treatment involves treating the underlying disease that caused Horner's syndrome. In this way, the function of the affected nerve can be restored.
