Dev Med Child Neurol. 1992 Jul;34(7):642-4. doi: 10.1111/j.1469-8749.1992.tb11495.x.

Abstract

Horner syndrome may be caused by a neuroblastoma involving the cervical sympathetic nervous system. A two-year-old girl presented with Horner syndrome and a discrete, distant neuroblastoma, suggesting that these two conditions represent a more widespread dysgenesis of the sympathetic nervous system.
