It is accepted that enophthalmos is not present in Horner syndrome in humans. But is it really present in other animals? If this is the case; which is the underlying mechanism?
Dear MOnyer:
Thanks’ very much for your quick response. I read that article, and I know that it is said that enophthalmos is present in some animals. I don´t know if this is really true.
I know some animals have a muscle called retratctor bulbi that changes de position of the eye, but this muscle is innervated by the third nerve.
If enophthalmos is really present in animals, there must be some kind of sympathetic muscle that changes the eye position and I have not found any information about it on the internet. This makes me think that enophthalmos is neither present in humans or animals.
