Abstract

The Horner's syndrome includes anisocoria as a result of miosis of the involved pupil with ptosis of the upper and lower lids, which results in slight narrowing of the palpebral fissure. Ipsilateral facial hyperemia and anhidrosis over the face and neck are less common features. The findings with Horner's syndrome are a result of the loss of sympathetic innervation to the ipsilateral eye and face. Recently we experienced 3 cases of Horner's syndrome that developed postoperatively and report briefly with literature.
