  • Title: [Usefulness of apraclonidine in the diagnosis of Horner syndrome].
    Author: Pérez-Iñigo MA, González I, Fernández FJ, Díaz S, Ferrer C, Alias E, Honrubia FM.
    Journal: Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol; 2009 Feb; 84(2):105-8. PubMed ID: 19253181.
    Abstract:
    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 anisocoria, 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 Adie's pupil. DISCUSSION: Apraclonidine drops (1% and 0.5%) may aid in the diagnosis of Horner Syndrome and are easier to obtain than cocaine.
