It is usually associated with an injury sustained to the sympathetic nervous system. It can also be the result of a unilateral endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy (ETS) or endoscopic sympathetic blockade (ESB) caused by surgery. This medical condition may also feature dermatological alteration leading to scales development (“fish skin disease”). Horner Syndrome, another problem associated with lesions to the sympathetic nervous system, is often seen in conjunction with Harlequin Syndrome. Associated with a very poor prognosis in which infants die usually younger than 1 week of age.
