Unilateral Horner’s Syndrome and Trigeminal Nerve Palsy After Lumbar Epidural Anaesthesia for Cesarean Section

Özet

We report a healthy 29-year-old primigravida at 38 weeks gestation who underwent elective cesarean section and suffered from Horner’s syndrome and trigeminal palsy following epidural anaesthesia. The prompt recognition of this complication associated with lumbar epidural anaesthesia requiring close monitoring of the patient in order to prevent autonomic complications has been addressed.
