  • Title: [Irreversible Horner's syndrome after bilateral thoracoscopic sympathectomy].
    Author: Vicente P, Canelles E, Díaz A, Fons A.
    Journal: Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol; 2014 Feb; 89(2):79-81. PubMed ID: 24269401.
    Abstract:
    CASE REPORT: A 19 year-old boy who developed a right Horner's syndrome after a bilateral sympathectomy as a treatment for palmoplantar hyperhidrosis. DISCUSSION: Horner's syndrome is defined by the occurrence of miosis, ptosis and enophthalmos as a result of involvement of sympathetic innervation. This is quite rare, but identification is very important because it may also be an ominous sign secondary to a neoplasm, neurological diseases, or surgery of the sympathetic chain, as in our case.
