Abstract

Chest tube insertion is the most commonly performed procedure in the thoracic surgery practice. This surgical procedure has various complications, however, Horner’s syndrome resulting from compression of the stellat ganglia due to apical insertion of chest tube is extremely rare. In this article a 21-year-old male patient who was treated with chest tube insertion for spontaneous pneumothorax at the left side is presented. The chest tube was removed after four days, however, classical triad of Horner’s syndrome including unilateral ptosis, miosis and anhydrosis developed. On the control examination performed after three months symptoms improved except for slight pitosis. It should be kept in mind that Horner’s syndrome may develop as a complication of apically placed chest tube.

Özet

Göğüs tüpü uygulaması toraks cerrahisi pratiğinde en sık uygulanan prosedürdür. Bu cerrahi prosedür birçok değişik komplikasyon içerir, ancak göğüs tüpünün apikal yerleştirilmesine bağlı olarak stellat gangliyonun basısı sonucu oluşan Horner sendromu gelişimi oldukça nadir görülür. Bu yazıda 21 yaşında sol taraflı spontan pnömotoraks nedeniyle göğüs tüpü yerleştirilerek tedavi edilen bir erkek hasta sunulmuştur. Hastanın göğüs tüpü dört gün sonra çekildi, ancak tek taraflı pitozis, miyozis ve anhidrozis triadından oluşan Horner sendromu gelişti. Üç ay sonra yapılan kontrol muayenesinde hafif pitozis dışında semptomların düzeldiği görüldü. Apikal olarak yerleştirilen göğüs tüpünün bir komplikasyonu olarak Horner sendromu gelişebileceği akılda bulundurulmalıdır.
