Abstract
To report three cases of Horner syndrome associated with penetrating neck injuries and the result of surgery for correcting the resulting ptosis. This is a retrospective case series study of 3 patients with Horner syndrome with past history of penetrating trauma to the neck. The patients’ history and the surgical results are presented. Muller’s muscle conjunctival resection was successfully used to treat ptosis in traumatic Horner syndrome in two cases. In the clinical setting of acute traumatic injury to the neck, careful evaluation for signs and symptoms of Horner syndrome should be performed. Horner syndrome and associated ptosis can be effectively managed using Muller’s muscle conjunctival resection.
