===Common Causes===
==Overview==
Horner's syndrome is usually acquired but may also be [[congenital]] (inborn) or [[iatrogenic]] (caused by medical treatment). Although most causes are relatively benign, Horner's syndrome may reflect serious pathology in the neck or chest (such as a [[Pancoast tumor]] or thyrocervical venous dilatation) and hence requires workup.

Overview

Horner's syndrome is usually acquired but may also be congenital (inborn) or iatrogenic (caused by medical treatment). Although most causes are relatively benign, Horner's syndrome may reflect serious pathology in the neck or chest (such as a Pancoast tumor or thyrocervical venous dilatation) and hence requires workup.
