Abstract
Horner's syndrome results from damage of cervical sympathetic trunk and is characterized by a typical triad of symptoms: miosis, eyelid ptosis, enophthalmos, with or without anhidrosis and hemi-facial vascular dilation. We describe a case of hB syndrome after three days from right loboistmectomy. The patient presented ptosis, miosis and enophthalmos in right side; however, anhidrosis and vasodilation of ipsilateral half face were not observed. horner's syndrome is a rare complication of thyroid surgery that should not be under evaluated especially considering the importance of the potentially permanent aesthetic alteration.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
