A case of postganglionic Horner syndrome after catheterization of internal jugular vein confirmed with pharmacological tests.
Horner syndrome, consisting of ipsilateral miosis, upper eye lid ptosis, and facial anhidrosis, has been reported as a rare complication of internal jugular vein catheterization. In this paper, we describe a nine-year-old girl presenting with postganglionic Horner syndrome, in whom right-sided ptosis and miosis occurred after ipsilateral percutaneous internal jugular venous catheterization.
