title: Horner's syndrome following excision of a vagal paraganglionoma.
abstract: We report a case of excision of a vagal paraganglionoma resulting in Horner's syndrome. The case was initially misdiagnosed as a carotid body tumour and demonstrates the need for adequate preoperative imaging and patient counselling for likely complications of surgery.
