Abstract

Horner Syndrome is a clinical syndrome caused by disruption of the sympathetic pathway, typically characterized by ipsilateral ptosis, miosis, and facial anhidrosis. Complications can arise during interventional procedures in the thoracic region due to proximity to the upper preganglionic nerve. A 21-year-old female patient who developed drooping of the right eyelid and Horner's syndrome following tube thoracostomy procedure is presented here. It is important to keep in mind that the tube has been removed and the condition may be reversible in terms of treatment.

Tüp Torakostomi İlişkili Horner Sendromu: Bir Olgu Sunumu

Abstract

Horner Sendromu (HS), sempatik fonksiyon bozukluğunun neden olduğu klasik olarak ipsilateral pitozis, gözbebeği daralması ve fasiyal anhidroz ile karakterize bir tablodur. Toraks bölgesinde yapılan girişimsel işlemlerde üst preganglionik sinire yakınlık nedeniyle komplikasyonlar gelişebilmektedir. Burada tüp torakostomi işlemi sonrasında sağ göz kapağında düşüklük meydana gelen ve Horner Sendromu tablosu gelişen 21 yaşında bir kadın hasta sunulmuştur. Tedavide hastanın tüpü çekilmiş olup geri döndürülebilir bir tablo olması açısından akılda tutulması oldukça önemlidir.
