|
Definition
|
|
Term
| results from interruption of a cervical sympathetic trunk & is manifest by the absence of sympathetically stimulated functions on the ipsilateral (same) side of the head; signs observed: *miosis (pupil constriction), *ptosis (eyelid droop), vasodilation (resulting in *redness and increased temperature of skin), *anhydrosis (lack of sweat) (see p. 913 in Moore-6th ed.) |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
