ABSTRACT
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.
