Title Diagnosis of Horner Syndrome Using the Topical Effects of Apraclonidine on the Eyelids, Conjunctivae, and Pupils
Creator Kardon, Randy H; Lee, Andrew G
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.
