Horner's syndrome (HS) occurs when there is disruption to the oculosympathetic pathway. Its features include eyelid ptosis, miosis and anhidrosis. The aetiology of this syndrome is varied and includes tumours, trauma, vascular disease and iatrogenic. Different pharmacologic tests are used for diagnosis, such as cocaine, hydroxyamphetamine and apraclonidine; while neuroimaging helps elucidating the aetiology. We present a case of a 63-year-old female referred to our service with a 4-month history of right eyelid ptosis. During examination right miosis was noted. The patient reported a history of multinodular goiter. Pharmacologic tests and neuroimaging confirmed the diagnosis of HS secondary to thyroid disease.
