Notes

  1. 1.

    Horner syndrome: Ipsilateral myosis, ptosis, and facial ­anhydrosis; usually unilateral and due to an ipsilateral lesion of the cervical sympathetic chain or its central pathway; an ­ominous sign when it accompanies an ipsilateral traumatic ­brachial plexopathy because it usually indicates an avulsion of the C8 and T1 primary roots from the spinal cord. From Stedman’s Electronic Medical Dictionary

  2. 2.

    Dysgeusia: Distortion or perversion in the perception of a tastant. An unpleasant perception may occur when a normally pleasant taste is present, or the perception may occur when no tastant is present (gustatory hallucination). From Stedman’s Electronic Medical Dictionary.

  3. 3.

    Amaurosis fugax: A transient blindness that may result from a transient ischemia resulting from carotid artery insufficiency or retinal artery embolus, or to centrifugal force (visual blackout in flight). From Stedman’s Electronic Medical Dictionary.

  4. 4.

    Exophthalmos: Protrusion of one or both eyeballs; can be congenital and familial, or due to pathology, such as a retro-orbital tumor (usually unilateral) or thyroid disease (usually bilateral). From Stedman’s Electronic Medical Dictionary.

  5. 5.

    Chemosis: Edema of the bulbar conjunctiva, forming a ­swelling around the cornea. From Stedman’s Electronic Medical Dictionary.
