Transient Horner's syndrome and ipsilateral facial hypopigmentation in an acromelanistic cat

Horner's syndrome (HS) occurs when the sympathetic nerve pathway is disrupted. This case report describes a cat with acromelanism that developed unilateral facial hypopigmentation concurrently with HS after an oesophagostomy tube was placed. Both the hypopigmentation and HS resolved completely following removal of the oesophagostomy tube.

Horner's syndrome (HS) occurs when the sympathetic nerve pathway is disrupted.

Both the hypopigmentation and HS resolved completely following removal of the oesophagostomy tube.
