Nasal obstruction after cervical sympathectomy: Horner's syndrome revisited.

Whittet HB, Fisher EW.

Royal National Throat, Nose and Ear Hospital, London, UK.

Horner's syndrome (cervical sympathetic paralysis) typically includes ptosis, miosis, enophthalmos and facial anhidrosis. However, the effect of sympathetic denervation upon the nasal mucosa should be included as a prominent feature, since nasal obstruction is often the most disabling sequel. The anatomical, physiological, and historical basis is discussed and surgical management suggested.
