Abstract Horner’s Syndrome (HS) with brachial plexus involvement following lumbar epidural anesthesia may be a startling event for the patient and providers. We present a case of Horner’s Syndrome and complete brachial plexus blockade following epidural bolus of lidocaine for labor analgesia that was initially misdiagnosed as a cerebrovascular accident. Use of the catheter was discontinued and the episode resolved with expectant management. This complication is otherwise benign and resolves without sequelae.

Obstetric Brachial Plexus Injury

The prognostic value of concurrent Horner’s syndrome in infants with total birth palsy was investigated. The records of 48 cases with total palsy were reviewed. Poor spontaneous return of the motor function of the limb was found for both with and without concurrent Horner’s syndrome. Fisher’s exact test ( P=0.02) indicated that the presence of concurrent Horner’s syndrome is a significant prognostic factor for poor spontaneous recovery of the limb.
