Examples of Horner's syndrome in the following topics:
-
- Horner's syndrome may also occur during a migraine attack and resolve after the migraine.
- Treatment of Horner's syndrome requires that the underlying cause of the syndrome be identified.
- Horner's syndrome is more of a symptom than an actual, independent disease.
- The numbers indicate sites of possible lesions on the nerves that cause Horner's syndrome.
- This patient exhibits Horner's syndrome on the left side of face.
-
- Lateral medullary syndrome, also called Wallenberg syndrome and posterior inferior cerebellar artery syndrome, is a disease that presents with a constellation of neurologic symptoms due to injury to the lateral part of the medulla in the brain, resulting in tissue ischemia and necrosis, typically from blood clot (stroke) impeding the vertebral artery and/or the posterior inferior cerebellar artery .
- This crossed finding is diagnostic for the syndrome.
- Clinical symptoms include swallowing difficulty, slurred speech, decreased coordination, facial pain, vertigo, involuntary eye movements, drooping eyes (Horner's syndrome), and double vision.
- Treatment for lateral medullary syndrome involves focusing on relief of symptoms and active rehabilitation to help those suffering from the syndrome recover their activities of daily living and cope with neurologic loss that can be psychologically devastating.
- One of the most unique and difficult to treat symptoms that occur due to Wallenberg syndrome are interminable, violent hiccups.
-
- Down syndrome or Down's syndrome, also known as trisomy 21, is a chromosomal condition caused by the presence of all or part of a third copy of chromosome 21.
- This is the cause of 1–2% of the observed Down syndromes.
- Translocation Down syndrome is often referred to as familial Down syndrome.
- It is the cause of 2–3% of observed cases of Down syndrome.
- Many standard prenatal screens can discover Down syndrome.
-
- Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is the most common persistent fatigue syndrome that affects people.
- Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is the most common name used to designate a significantly debilitating medical disorder or group of disorders.
- The disorder may also be referred to as myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), post-viral fatigue syndrome (PVFS), chronic fatigue immune dysfunction syndrome (CFIDS), or several other terms.
- An Australian prospective study found that after infection by viral and non-viral pathogens, a sub-set of individuals met the criteria for CFS, with the researchers concluding that "post-infective fatigue syndrome is a valid illness model for investigating one pathophysiological pathway to CFS".
-
- Compartment syndrome most often involves the forearm and lower leg, and can be acute or chronic.
- When compartment syndrome is caused by repetitive use of the muscles, as in a cyclist, it is known as chronic compartment syndrome.
- Chronic compartment syndrome in the lower leg can be treated conservatively or surgically.
- Chronic compartment syndrome can develop into the acute syndrome.
- A fasciotomy is a surgical treatment for compartment syndrome.
-
- Patellofemoral pain syndrome is discomfort originating from the contact of the posterior of the patella (kneecap) with the femur.
- Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is a syndrome characterized by pain or discomfort seemingly originating from the contact of the posterior surface of the patella (back of the kneecap) with the femur (thigh bone).
- Secondary causes of PF Syndrome are fractures, internal knee derangement, osteoarthritis of the knee, and bony tumors in or around the knee.
- Specific populations at high risk of primary PF Syndrome include runners, basketball players, young athletes, and females; especially those who have an increased angle of genu valgus (commonly referred to as "knock-knees").
- Patellofemoral pain syndrome may also result from overuse or overload of the PF joint.
-
- Acute radiation syndrome or damage describes health effects present within 24 hours of exposure to high amounts of ionizing radiation.
- Treatment of acute radiation syndrome is generally supportive with blood transfusions and antibiotics.
- Similar symptoms may appear months to years after exposure as chronic radiation syndrome when the dose rate is too low to cause the acute form.
- These diseases are sometimes referred to as radiation sickness, but they are never included in the term acute radiation syndrome.
- A photograph of an 11-year-old girl, who was 2 kilometers away from the Hiroshima bombing site, recovering from acute radiation syndrome.
-
- Marfan syndrome is a genetic disorder of the connective tissue.
- Marfan syndrome has a range of expressions, from mild to severe.
- Many individuals with Marfan syndrome grow to above-average height.
- Marfan syndrome can also seriously affect the eyes and vision.
- Marfan syndrome is a risk factor for spontaneous pneumothorax.
-
- Sjögren's syndrome, also known as "Mikulicz disease" and "Sicca syndrome," is a systemic autoimmune disease in which immune cells attack and destroy the exocrine glands that produce tears and saliva.
- The hallmark symptoms of Sjögren's syndrome are dry eyes and dry mouth.
- Sjögren's syndrome can exist as a disorder in its own right, as primary Sjögren's syndrome, or may develop years after the onset of another autoimmune rheumatic disorder, as secondary Sjögren's syndrome.
- Producing less than five millimeters of liquid is usually indicative of Sjögren's syndrome.
- If lesions are observed within the salivary glands, it is strongly indicative of Sjögren's syndrome.
-
- The nephrotic syndrome usually results in the excretion of about 3.0 to 3.5 grams per 24 hours.
- By contrast, in nephritic syndrome RBCs pass through the pores, causing hematuria.
- Lipiduria (lipids in urine) can also occur, but is not essential for the diagnosis of nephrotic syndrome.
- Nephrotic syndrome is often classified histologically.
- The prognosis depends on the cause of nephrotic syndrome.
