Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I am Dr Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist, and would try my best to help you.

I have noted the symptoms and reports provided. Based on that, no cause has yet been identified for the ptosis.

Patient requires further evaluation, with MRI and MR Angiogram of brain with contrast, to exclude intra-cranial causes of left Horner's syndrome.

I sincerely hope my reply has helped you.

I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
