Oculosympathetic paresis

Because sympathetically innervated smooth muscle fibers also exist in the lower eyelid, oculosympathetic paresis can produce elevation of the lower lid (so-called upside-down ptosis). This condition is often subtle. However, this sign, along with ptosis of the upper lid, contributes to a narrowing of the palpebral fissure, giving the appearance of enophthalmos. [Pg.353]

The term Homer s syndrome is used to refer to any oculosympathetic palsy or paresis. [Pg.352]
