Site of autonomic dysfunction in a patient with Ross' syndrome and postganglionic Horner's syndrome

Department of Neurology, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas 75235-8897, USA.

Ross' syndrome is a rare peripheral nervous system disorder defined by Adie's tonic pupil, hyporeflexia, and segmental anhidrosis. Injury to postganglionic cholinergic fibers is believed to account for the tonic pupil and sweating disturbance. We report a 47-year-old man found to have Ross' syndrome in combination with a complete postganglionic Horner's syndrome. Pharmacologic and sudomotor tests in this unique patient provide further evidence that Ross' syndrome results from injury to sympathetic and parasympathetic ganglion cells or to their postganglionic projections.
