Pediatric Horner syndrome has congenital and acquired causes, with birth trauma being common in congenital cases. Acquired cases often indicate serious underlying conditions requiring thorough evaluation.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Pediatrics
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Horner syndrome in children presents unique diagnostic challenges.
  • Understanding the causes of pediatric Horner syndrome is crucial for appropriate management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define the etiologies of Horner syndrome in the pediatric population.
  • To differentiate causes between congenital and acquired pediatric Horner syndrome.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of medical records for pediatric Horner syndrome patients (< 18 years).
  • Data collected from pediatric ophthalmology services at two major referral centers.

Main Results:

  • Seventy-three pediatric Horner syndrome patients were identified.

  • Congenital Horner syndrome (42%) linked to birth complications; acquired Horner syndrome (42% post-surgery, 15% without surgery) associated with serious conditions like neuroblastoma.
  • Neuroblastoma and other serious conditions were identified in both congenital and acquired cases.

    • Conclusions:

    • Birth trauma history may obviate extensive workup for congenital Horner syndrome.
    • Acquired pediatric Horner syndrome necessitates comprehensive evaluation due to frequent links with severe underlying diseases.
    • Diagnostic decisions for congenital Horner syndrome without clear birth history should consider neuroblastoma incidence and clinical findings.
