LUCERO, Pablo D; GUTIERREZ MAGALDI, Ignacio; CAMPORRO, Fernando A  and  BERTORELLO, Maria N. Síndrome de Horner como presentación de tuberculosis pulmonar. Medicina (B. Aires) [online]. 2018, vol.78, n.6, pp.447-448. ISSN 0025-7680.

Horner´s syndrome results from a blockage of the sympathetic innervation to the eye at any point along its trajectory. It presents various etiologies, and it is a very unusual form of presentation of pulmonary tuberculosis. We describe the case of a patient with a Horner syndrome secondary to involvement of the pulmonary apex due to tuberculosis.

Keywords : Tuberculosis; Horner’s syndrome.
