Kombine spinal-epidural anestezi sonrası Horner sendromu

Horner sendromu (HS) epidural anestezide nadir olarak görülür. Pitozis, enoftalmi, miyozis, anizokori, konjunktival hiperemi, etkilenen yüz yarısında kızarma (flushing) ve anhidroz ile karakterizedir. Genellikle kalıcı nörolojik kusur bırakmadan düzelen bir komplikasyondur. İntraoral anestezi, stellat, servikal ve brakiyal pleksus bloğu, torakal, lomber, kaudal epidural anestezi yöntemleri, ayrıca intraplevral analjezi HS'nin başlıca anestezi ile ilgili nedenleridir. Diğer nedenler arasında baş-boyun cerrahisi, travma ve internal juguler ven ponksiyonu yer alır. Bu yazıda, aortabifemoral baypas uygulanan lomber kombine spinal epidural anestezi sonrası ortaya çıkan tek taraflı HS'li olgu sunuldu.

Horner syndrome following combined spinal-epidural anesthesia

Horner syndrome is rarely observed in connection with epidural anesthesia. It is characterized by ptosis, enophthalmos, miosis, anisocoria, and conjunctival hyperemia in the affected eye, as well as anhydrosis and flushing on the affected side of the face. It is usually a complication spontaneously resolved without permanent neurological deficits. Intraoral anesthesia; stellate ganglion, cervical or brachial plexus blocks; thoracic, lumbar or caudal epidural anesthesia, and intrapleural analgesia are the main causes for Horner syndrome related to anesthesia. Among other causes of Horner syndrome are head and neck surgery, trauma, and puncture of internal jugular vein. The present case of unilateral Horner syndrome appeared in the aortobifemoral bypass after lumbar spinal- epidural anesthesia.
