Abstract

|
Stellate ganglion block (SGB), cervicothoracic sympathetic block, is the most widely practiced procedure in pain clinics.
We experienced a case of 47 year old male patient who had received SGB & developed prolonged ocmplication of Horner's syndrome. The patient was an anesthesiologist at our clinic who's medical history was unremarkable except mild hypertension. He
wanted
to experience the general effect of SGB and to evaluate the influence of SGB on blood pressure. After 15 days, he recovered pontaneously from Horner's syndrome.
As with this case, it is necessary to assur patients they will recover from complications within several months, at the longest, without any sequelae.
