What Is Horner's Syndrome?
9. Treatment of Horner’s Syndrome
Unfortunately, there is no direct treatment to address Horner’s syndrome. This is largely due to the fact that it is most often a symptom of a more pressing medical issue. Once you have received a diagnosis from a medical professional, you will be introduced to the most appropriate treatment options. If the condition is the result of a tumor, for example, the doctor may suggest treatment to shrink it with radiation or remove it through surgery. For those who develop Horner’s syndrome as the result of family history, genetic therapy could prove to be a viable treatment.
In most cases, the symptoms related to Horner’s syndrome begin to decrease once the cause is addressed and treated. The specifics vary depending on your condition, so your doctor can provide more information on your individual timeline should you require one.
