Abstract
PEREZ-INIGO, M.A. et al. Usefulness of apraclonidine in the diagnosis of Horner Syndrome. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol [online]. 2009, vol.84, n.2, pp.105-108. ISSN 0365-6691.
Case reports: We present four cases: two males with Horner Syndrome, who were diagnosed by means of apraclonidine 0.5% and cocaine 4% tests respectively. Two children with anysocoria, one of whom had Horner Syndrome confirmed with apraclonidine 1% and the other, in whom an apraclonidine test ruled out this syndrome but in whom pilocarpine 0.125% confirmed Adies pupil. Discussion: Apraclonidine drops (1% and 0.5%) may aid in the diagnosis of Horner Syndrome and are easier to obtain than cocaine.
Keywords : Apraclonidine; Horner Syndrome; anysocoria; cocaine; diagnosis.
