Horner's Syndrome Secondary to Epidural Anesthesia After Scoliosis Correction: A Case Report
Horner’s syndrome is a clinical triad composed of ptosis, miosis, and facial anhidrosis. Overall, this complication is rare but well-documented in the obstetric population receiving labor epidural analgesia, which usually follows a relatively benign transient course. Less commonly, few cases of Horn...

Sumario: | Horner’s syndrome is a clinical triad composed of ptosis, miosis, and facial anhidrosis. Overall, this complication is rare but well-documented in the obstetric population receiving labor epidural analgesia, which usually follows a relatively benign transient course. Less commonly, few cases of Horner’s syndrome have been reported in the pediatric population following surgical correction of scoliosis with epidural placement. We present a rare case of a pediatric patient that developed Horner’s syndrome secondary to epidural anesthesia following surgical correction of scoliosis. |
