We are reporting an irreversible Horner Syndrome (HS) in a patient with benign thyroid gland nodule in which thyroidectomy was performed for treatment. A 37-year-old female was admitted to our clinic with a swelling in the left lobe of the thyroid gland and ptosis at the left eyelid. The clinical diagnosis of HS was confirmed pharmacologically by aproclonidine. Histopathologic examination of thyroidectomy specimen was reported as benign nodule. To the best of our knowledge, this is a very rare report in terms of thyroid benign nodule associated with irreversible HS due to cervical sympathetic chain compression.
我们报告了一例良性甲状腺结节患者在接受甲状腺切除术治疗后出现不可逆性霍纳综合征（HS）。一名 37 岁女性因左侧甲状腺肿胀和左侧眼睑下垂而到我院就诊。HS 的临床诊断通过盐酸可乐定得到了药物学的证实。甲状腺切除术标本的组织病理学检查报告为良性结节。据我们所知，这是一个非常罕见的病例，涉及到由于颈交感神经链压迫而导致的与良性甲状腺结节相关的不可逆性 HS。
