Abstract: Horner's syndrome (HS) is a condition described in both humans and animals. The most characteristic signs are miosis, enophthalmos, and protrusion of the third eyelid, all resulting from oculo-sympathetic dysfunction caused by the loss or interruption of sympathetic innervation to the eye and its attachments. The clinical signs vary according to the location, duration, and severity of the lesion, as well as the species affected. The diagnosis is made through physical, imaging, and pharmacological exams to confirm the location of the lesion. The prognosis varies according to the etiology and usually does not cause significant lesions to the patient. The therapeutic approach to Horner's syndrome is contingent upon the underlying cause and may range from conservative treatment to specific surgical interventions. Furthermore, continuous monitoring is imperative to assess the progression of the condition and the patient's response to treatment, thereby ensuring the most favorable outcome possible.
