Horner syndrome: tribute to Professor Horner on his 190th birthday

Abstract This paper reviews some aspects of the life and work of Professor Johann Friedrich Horner, on the occasion of the 190th anniversary of his birthday and 152 years after the publication of "Über eine Form von Ptosis". It also shows the importance of the historical description of ptosis, myosis and anhidrosis associating those symptoms with sympathetic cervical damage. He pharmacologically confirmed the impairment of sympathetic innervation to the eye and preserved parasympathetic function.

摘要 本研究适逢约翰·弗里德里希·霍尔纳（Johann Friedrich Horner）教授诞辰190周年，且其经典论文《论一种上睑下垂》（Über eine Form von Ptosis）发表已满152周年，借此契机对其生平与学术工作的若干维度进行了回顾。本文同时阐明了将上睑下垂（ptosis）、瞳孔缩小（myosis）与无汗症（anhidrosis）这三类症状与颈交感神经损伤相关联的历史阐释的重要意义，霍尔纳教授通过药理学方法证实了眼部交感神经支配功能受损，而副交感神经功能得以保留。
