Computed tomography-based investigation of degenerative neural cervicothoracic foraminal stenosis as a potential mechanism for Horner syndrome by Joshua Ong, Mariko Kurokawa, Sangeeta Khanna, Lindsey B. De Lott, Ryo Kurokawa, Aseem Sharma

“…PurposeTo investigate the presence and/or severity of cervicothoracic foraminal stenosis between the C7 and T3 segments could account for Horner syndrome, otherwise deemed to be idiopathic in nature.MethodsThis study was an IRB-approved, retrospective study that included 28 patients [mean ± standard deviation (age: 54.5 ± 18.7 years)] with a confirmed diagnosis of Horner syndrome, absence of any identifiable cause, and availability of a neck CT/CT angiogram obtained within 6 months of the diagnosis. A neuroradiologist masked to the laterality of Horner syndrome reviewed the CT scans, documenting the presence/severity of foraminal stenosis at levels C7-T1, T1-2, and T2-3 on a 4-point Likert scale defined as follows: 0, none; 1, mild; 2, moderate; and 3, severe narrowing, with grades 1, 2, and 3 signifying <1/3rd, 1/3rd–2/3rd, and >2/3rd stenosis of the expected normal foraminal dimension.ResultsForaminal stenosis was present ipsilateral to the side of Horner syndrome in four (14.3%) patients and on the contralateral side in five (17.8%) patients. …”
