ABSTRACT

Horner’s syndrome consists of an injury to the sympathetic pupillary pathway. Described with the triad: ptosis, miosis and anhidrosis. Recognizing the signs of this syndrome, their levels of injury and causes are of paramount importance to the clinician. Case: A 38-year-old female patient presented with ptosis of the upper eyelid, right eye, 2 months of evolution, growth of axillary ganglion 4 years ago, also cough of 6 month duration; 6 kg weight loss in 3 months. Exploration: mild ptosis, greater anisocoria in the dark, right miosis. Sistemic exploration: right breast tumor of 6cm, adhered to deep planes. The patient was referred to an oncological center. This case is important because there is a wide spread of prevention programs, however, there are still people who continue to hide their diseases, we must not forget that the eyeball is a key point to detect systemic diseases.
