Can Poland's Syndrome Be Connected To Horner's Syndrome?

I was diagnosed with breast cancer last month and decided to have a bilateral mastectomy though the cancer was in my right breast. I was born with a deformed left hand but never really diagnosed for anyjthing. After my mastectomy the plastic surgeon told me that I have Polands Syndrome because I didn't have my left pectoral muscle although I have a breast a bit smaller than my right and that also explained my webbed left handfingers. I also have symptoms of horners syndrome on the left side of my face, drooping eye lid aand absence of sweat. Do you think the syndromes are all connected?

Hello,

So, Poland and Horner syndrome are not related to each other.
You should consult a neurologist for Horner syndrome.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
