ABSTRACT
Horner's syndrome is one of the rare complications after anterior approach intervertebral disc herniation surgery. Here, we described a 35-year-old male patient with Horner's syndrome accompanied by brachial plexus injury at the upper trunk level and vertebral artery occlusion after anterior ipsilateral approach cervical discectomy and cervical disc prosthesis operation. We are not aware of a similar case of these complications after this operation in the literature. After the six-month follow-up period the patient's Horner's syndrome slightly improved and he partially gained right upper extremity muscle strength.
