Sumario:Currently, epidural analgesia is a common procedure for labor analgesia. Although it is considered a safe technique, it is not without complications.

We report a case of a pregnant woman who developed Horner's syndrome and paresthesia within the distribution of the trigeminal nerve following epidural analgesia for the relief of labor pain.
