Abstract/OtherAbstract:
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES. Stellate ganglion block is a technically simple procedure but is liable to many complications because of the adjacent structures. We report a contralateral and bilateral Horner's syndrome with stellate ganglion block in the same patient on different occasions. We also report a bilateral recurrent laryngeal nerve block with this procedure.
