Iatrogenic Harlequin syndrome after thoracic spine surgery: a case report and literary review

Abstract

Here we present a unique case of Harlequin syndrome without Horner syndrome after contralateral Th3 intradural tumor resection. Harlequin sign in our case presented probably to resection of sympathetic nerves while removing meningioma. Syndrome is rare in neurosurgical procedure, but we think that surgeons must be aware of it.
