horners syndrome help

[chops79]

my daughter is 6 months old i noticed a few weeks ago that she has one pupil bigger then the other mainly in dim light and her eyes are slightly different colours. she can see well and she does not have any other symptoms . i saw a baby eye dr yesterday who put some drops in her eyes and confirmed mild horners syndrome and has refered her on to see a paediatrician for xrays etc to rule out any underlying cause, he said it was most likely to do with her birth even though she was a planned csection which i thought went very well as she was in good condition but only weighing 5lb 10oz (thats why she was csection). if anyone can give me any advise or has been through this with their baby please write back. the eye dr said try not to worry but that is near on impossible. thanks for your time.x

Hi chops! Didn't like to leave your post unanswered. There is nothing like being told not to worry to find imagination running away on its own!
Don't have any personal experience but in my long gone pre-mummy days used to have research interest in ANS to the eye. Horners syndrome (HS) is when the sympathetic supply on one side (which comes from the ganglion or relay station in the neck and is part of the ANS -autonomic supply) to the eye and surrounding area is deficient for some reason. IIRC the most common cause of congenital HS is presumed birth injury and is not very uncommon. However it is normal to investigate when HS is first detected to check all is otherwise well. The ANS controls smooth (involuntary) muscles like the iris, (the ciliary muscle that controls focusing has parasympathetic only so is unaffected by HS), and also things like sweating and flushing. In HS the smaller pupil is usually the unusual one.
Hope this bumps things for you. ((Hug))
