RODRIGUEZ-SANCHEZ, Eduardo; VADILLO, Juan Manuel; HERRERA-CALO, Pablo e MARENCO DE LA FUENTE, María Luisa. Horner syndrome after epidural analgesia for labor. Report on three cases. Rev. colomb. anestesiol. [online]. 2016, vol.44, n.2, pp.170-173. ISSN 0120-3347.
Epidural analgesia is assumed to be the technique of choice for the relief of pain in labor. Multiple adverse neurological effects have been reported, one of which is the so-called Horner syndrome (ptosis, myosis, anhidrosis). Its evolution is usually benign and does not require specific management, except clinical monitoring for the more than probable cephalic spread of local anesthetic. Most of the cases that exist in the literature are isolated; in our work we present a series of 3 clinical cases and review the pathogenesis and management in the obstetric patient.
