  • Title: A case of unilateral Horner's syndrome diagnosed in retrospect following epidural analgesia during labour and caesarean section.
    Author: Sinha N, Ansari T.
    Journal: Middle East J Anaesthesiol; 2010 Jun; 20(5):753-4. PubMed ID: 20803870.
    Abstract:
    Horner's syndrome is a rare complication of epidural analgesia in labour. Although it is a sign of high sympathetic block, patients are usually haemodynamicaly stable. We report a case of undiagnosed Horner's syndrome complicating epidural analgesia in labour, where a standard dose of local anaesthetic was given for an emergency caesarean section without problems. This may confirm the benign nature of the syndrome.
