Аннотация
PURPOSE: Description of a complication from tube thoracostomy.
METHODS: Case report from experience at an Air Force tertiary care hospital in a 50-year-old female smoker undergoing left upper lobectomy for lung cancer.
RESULTS: Horner's syndrome resulted 18 hours after removal of an apical thoracostomy tube.
CONCLUSIONS: Horner's syndrome caused by tube thoracostomy is a rare but real complication. One should avoid placing the tip of the tube in the medial thoracic apex with the intent of avoiding second-order sympathetic chain pathways. As evidenced by our patient with a delayed onset of presentation, malpositioned tubes should be repositioned before symptoms develop. Long-term prognosis is poor once Horner's syndrome develops.
