Cervical Sympathetic Stimulation Caused by Carcinoma of the Lung

OTTO C. BRANTIGAN M.D., F.C.C.P.1

1 The Department of Surgery, University of Maryland, School of Medicine.

There are described two patients with carcinoma of the apex of the lung who exhibited the effects of stimulation of the cervical sympathetic nervous system; namely, widening of the palpebral fissure, dilatation of the pupil, increased sweating on the same side of the face and the upper extremity of the same side. The findings are exactly opposite those found in Horner's syndrome.
