Résumé
A 30-year-old female patient with no previous chronic illness underwent hemithyroidectomy unusually complaint of ptosis on first postoperative day. On examination, she also had miosis. Thus, diagnosis of Horner's syndrome was made on ground of ruling out other complication. As it is caused by nerve insult, with a prolonged observation under close follow-up, the patient is fully recovered. Horner's syndrome after thyroidectomy is a rare entity. In textbook also, it is not mentioned as complication after thyroidectomy.
