[The role of the sympathetic system in ocular pathology]
Abstract:
Neurovegetative system consist of preganglionar fibre from neural tube and postganglionar from neural crest. We examined 13 patients with Fuchs' syndrome. The first sign was heterochromia, followed by keratic precipitates, pathological cataract and finally secondary glaucoma. The cause of Fuchs' syndrome was the damage of superior cervical ganglion. We studied 4 cases of Claude Bernard Horner's syndrome through damages of preganglionar sympathetic system, in 3 cases because of laterocervical neoplasia and in the last case through brachial plexus damages.
