“…[1] Klinik prezentasyonunda, öksürük, hemoptizi gibi akciğeri düşündüren semptomlar tümörün periferik lokalizasyonu Çünkü lezyon, internal karotisteki sempatik lifleri etkiler fakat yüzdeki ter bezlerine eksternal karotis pleksusundan lifler gelir. [5,6] Bizim hastamızda omuz ve kol ağrısı şikayetiyle gelmesi nedeniyle diğer başvurduğu polikliniklerde öncelikle muskuloskeletal nedenler ve radikülopati açısından tetkik edilmiş ve yüzündeki Horner sendromu dikkat çekmemişti. Aynı zamanda hasta da, ağrısı ön planda olması nedeniyle bu durumdan şikayetçi değildi.…”

A Pancoast or superior sulcus tumor is a rare, bronchogenic carcinoma. In the early period, shoulder pain is the most common symptom. In this case, the patient had presented with complaints of shoulder and arm pain at other outpatient clinics and was examined primarily for musculoskeletal causes and radiculopathy. The patient had no complaints of facial symptoms and Horner's syndrome signs, such as anhidrosis of the face and neck region, were not noticed. Advanced imaging of a patient with preganglionic Horner's syndrome is important. Fewer than 50% of patients with a Pancoast tumor have a resectable lesion at the first diagnosis. Diagnosis is often delayed or there may be a misdiagnosis because musculoskeletal disorders are the focus and there are few lung-related complaints. A detailed examination and anamnesis is very important in patients with arm and shoulder pain.

“…The diagnosis of Horner's syndrome can be confirmed after an ophthalmic examination and pharmacological testing, usually with apracloidine [4] . There are other conditions that can present similar to and/or cause Horner's syndrome (see Table 1 ) [5] , [6] , [7] .…”

SummaryCase report of a 51 year old man involved in a motor vehicle accident presenting with multiple thoracic wall injury, including bilateral first rib fractures. He slowly developed a right sided Horner's syndrome due to a right paravertebral haematoma. The initial imaging did not display any carotid injury, however the developing right paravertebral haematoma was not initially reported. We review the anatomy and pathophysiology of this well-known but rare condition to show how first rib fractures should raise suspicion of Horner's syndrome irrespective of the presence or absence of any underlying blunt carotid injury.

“…Horner syndrome (HS) is associated with a constellation of symptoms, including ipsilateral myosis, ptosis, enophthalmos, and facial anhidrosis, and is due to a disruption of any part of the ipsilateral sympathetic innervation. [ 1 , 2 ] HS can be divided into 3 types according to the localization of the sympathetic lesion: central (first-order neuron), preganglionic (second-order neuron), and postganglionic (third-order neuron). The causes of HS include stroke in the posteroinferior cerebellar artery, trauma, tumors, cluster migraine, and carotid dissection.…”

“…The causes of HS include stroke in the posteroinferior cerebellar artery, trauma, tumors, cluster migraine, and carotid dissection. [ 2 , 3 ] Although it is an unusual complication of thyroidectomy due to improvements in surgical techniques, HS is inevitable because of the close and highly variable anatomical relationship between the thyroid gland and cervical sympathetic trunk. [ 4 – 7 ] Here, we report a case of HS in a patient with Graves disease associated with papillary thyroid carcinoma who underwent left-side thyroidectomy and neck dissection.…”

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, and mild enophthalmos, which developed in the patient on postoperative day 2.Interventions:The patient was administered glucocorticoids and neurotrophic drugs on postoperative day 3.Outcome:The symptoms of Horner syndrome were significantly relieved 1 year later.Lessons:Surgeons must be aware that Horner syndrome may be a source of iatrogenic complications, and patients also should be informed of these complications before surgery.
