What Is Horner's Syndrome?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
3. Horner’s Syndrome and Accidents
Though the development of a tumor in the lungs or brain stem can lead to the development of Horner’s syndrome, there are several other causes of which to stay mindful. A stroke can also be a leading factor, especially one that has a direct impact on the neural pathways connected to the eyes. A particularly bad car accident might also cause the condition. This is especially true of any accident that results in physical injury to the head, neck, spine, or chest. Surgery on any of these areas may also lead to the development of this syndrome.
There is no specific treatment for the syndrome itself. Instead, medical professionals must know what conditions led to the development of the neural obstruction.
