RATIONALE Horner syndrome is an unusual complication after thyroidectomy. PATIENT CONCERNS We report a case of Horner syndrome in a 34-year-old female patient with Graves disease associated with papillary thyroid carcinoma who underwent left-side minimally invasive video-assisted thyroidectomy and neck dissection. DIAGNOSIS Horner syndrome was diagnosed based on left myosis, eyelid ptosis, ...

PURPOSE To report two cases of Horner's syndrome. One presented after the ablation of a schwannoma of the cervical sympathetic chain, the second after upper thorascopic sympathectomy for primary palmar hyperhidrosis. METHODS A 42-year-old man underwent excision of a left neck mass found during routine physical examination. A 20-year-old girl with axillary and palmar hyperhidrosis was treated ...

Horner syndrome (HS), caused by an interruption in the oculosympathetic pathway, is characterised by myosis, ipsilateral blepharoptosis, enophthalmos, facial anhydrosis, and vascular dilation of the lateral part of the face. HS is a rare complication of thyroidectomy. A 15-year-old female patient presented with solitary solid and large nodule in the right thyroid lobe. Ultrasound-guided fine-ne...

Dear editor, Horner's syndrome (HS) results from interruption of sympathetic nervous supply to the eye and manifests clinically with partial ptosis, miosis and enophthalmos, along with anhidrosis of face on the affected side. [1] HS is not an uncommon finding in patients visiting emergency department (ED), being reported in those with brainstem strokes, myelitis, malignancies of lung and thyroi...

The predominant features of Harlequin syndrome are unilateral facial flushing and sweating. Harlequin syndrome has been reported in different clinical conditions including brain stem infarction, superior mediastinal neurinoma, and internal jugular vein catheterization.1,2 Idiopathic and iatrogenic cases have been reported. The clinical features of Horner syndrome are ptosis, miosis, enophthalmo...

OBJECTIVES To measure the orbital volume of unilateral pure blowout fractures with computed tomography before and after surgery and to compare 3-dimensional (3-D) imaging systems. METHODS Twenty-four patients were evaluated with facial computed tomographic scans before and after surgery. Both the orbital volume and the displaced soft tissue volume were measured by 2 operators using 2 differen...

Abstract Background A variety of primary tumors affect the bony orbit. They include, sphenoid ridge meningioma, fibrous dysplasia, ossifying fibroma, osteoma and aneurismal bone cyst. Controversies in treatment strategies still exist. This study is retrospective that included 20 patients operated upon last three years—at neurosurgery department Minia University Hospital—with related to We studi...

This study was conducted to evaluate changes in the composition of a poly-L-lactic D-lactic acid and trimethylene carbonate (PLDLA-TMC) sheet after insertion into the human body. A 35-year-old woman had an orbital fracture that was reconstructed using a PLDLA-TMC sheet. During iliac bone grafting for enophthalmos 190 days after the insertion, the sheet was removed and analyzed using gel permeat...

Horner's syndrome is rarely observed in epidural anaesthesia; it is characterized by ptosis and enophthalmos on the affected side; miosis, anisocoria, and conjunctival hyperemia in the affected eye and anhydrosis, flushing on the affected side of the face. It is usually a complication spontaneously resolved without permanent neurological deficits. Intraoral anaesthesia, stellate, cervical and b...
