Özet
Horner’s syndrome (HS) is a rare complication after anterior cervical discectomy and it is characterized by ipsilateral ptosis, miosis and fascial anhidrosis. Here, we described transient postoperative HS in a patient with congenital scoliosis who underwent posterior T7 hemivertebra excision. Fortunately, HS resolved completely after 3 months of follow-up. One must consider internal jugular vein catheterization or prone position as the cause of postoperative HS in non-cervical surgeries.
