Title Diagnosis of Horner Syndrome Using the Topical Effects of Apraclonidine on the Eyelids, Conjunctivae, and Pupils
Creator R. Kardon; A. Lee
Affiliation Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, University of Iowa and VA Hospitals, Iowa City, Iowa
Subject Horner Syndrome; Apraclonidine; Ptosis; Oculosympathetic Palsy; Pupil
Description Alternative methods for diagnosing oculosympathetic palsy are needed besides cocaine testing and pupillography due to false positive and negative results that can occur. Apraclonidine offers a new pharmacologic method based on its alpha-2 inhibitory effects in normal eyes and weak alpha-1 adrenergic/excitatory effects in Horner's eyes.
