Neurophysiological study of Horner's syndrome.
Sympathetic skin response from the forehead and from the hand obtained by using electric, acoustic stimuli and during deep breathing was recorded in normal subjects and in patients suffering from Horner's syndrome in order to characterize this clinical picture neurophysiologically. The reliability of the method points to its possible usefulness in the pre-postganglionic differential diagnosis also.
