  • Title: Horner's syndrome in subadventitial carotid artery dissection and the role of magnetic resonance angiography.
    Author: Brown J, Danielson R, Donahue SP, Thompson HS.
    Journal: Am J Ophthalmol; 1995 Jun; 119(6):811-3. PubMed ID: 7785706.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE/METHODS: A 47-year-old man with a postganglionic Horner's syndrome and severe right facial pain was found to have a normal carotid angiogram. We obtained a magnetic resonance angiogram of the neck because of our continued clinical suspicion of dissection. RESULT/CONCLUSION: An area of hyperintensity was identified along the lumen of the right internal carotid artery, suggesting a subadventitial dissection. Magnetic resonance angiography is a noninvasive, sensitive technique for identifying some carotid dissections.
