The first patient present an unilateral, acute ischaemic ocular and orbital syndrome partially cortico-resistant. The second one present a right Horner syndrome appeared several months after an important malaise, weights loss and pharyngeal and maxillary pain which had been successfully treated with antibiotics and non steroid anti-inflammatory drugs.
