Abstract/OtherAbstract:
One hundred and fifty women in labour provided with extradural analgesia were monitored and an incidence of Horner's syndrome of 1.33% was noted. Fifty women undergoing Caesarean section under extradural analgesia were also monitored and an incidence of Horner's syndrome of 4% was noted. From the results we found it impossible to predict which patients would develop a Horner's syndrome.
