Dentures in the oesophagus have been associated with various complications; however, Horner's syndrome following denture impaction has not been reported in our locality.
Horner's syndrome developed in a 26-year-old woman following accidental swallowing of an upper denture which then became impacted in the oesophagus. The denture was retrieved via cervical oesophagotomy. The syndrome abated completely by the seventh day post-surgery. The clinical features of Horner's syndrome are discussed.
Compression of the stellate ganglion, with resultant Horner's syndrome, can be associated with denture impaction in the cervical oesophagus.
假牙进入食管会引发多种并发症；然而，在我们当地，尚未有假牙嵌顿后导致霍纳综合征的报道。
一名26岁女性意外吞咽上假牙后，假牙嵌顿于食管，继而出现霍纳综合征。通过颈部食管切开术取出假牙。术后第七天，该综合征完全缓解。文中讨论了霍纳综合征的临床特征。
星状神经节受压导致霍纳综合征，可能与颈部食管的假牙嵌顿有关。
