AbstractHorner's Syndrome (HS) with brachial plexus involvement following lumbar epidural anesthesia may be a startling event for the patient and providers. We present a case of Horner's Syndrome and complete brachial plexus blockade following epidural bolus of lidocaine for labor analgesia that was initially misdiagnosed as a cerebrovascular accident. Use of the catheter was discontinued and the episode resolved with expectant management. This complication is otherwise benign and resolves without sequelae.© Association of Military Surgeons of the United States 2019. All rights reserved.
