- Abstract: Raeder's syndrome, or Raeder's paratrigeminal syndrome, is a painful Horner's syndrome characterized by unilateral head pain, oculosympathetic paralysis (miosis, ptosis) and anhydrosis over the forehead with otherwise normal facial sweating. We report two cases of Raeder's syndrome whose cause had not been found despite of intensive investigation and one case associated with nasopharyngeal tumor. The first case had a headache, miosis, ptosis but had not cranial nerve palsy. The second case had a unilateral facial headache, oculosympathetic paralysis, aoydrosis of forehead and sensory change in the ipsilateral ophthalmic division of the trigeminal nerve. The third case had a headache, miosis, ptosis, anhydrosis of forehead and sensory change in the whole territory of the trigeminal nerve.
