Subdural Block and Horner's Syndrome Following Caudal Anesthesia

Abstract

We report a case of subdural block and Horner's syndrome after caudal anesthesia in a child with left impalpable testis, who needed second stage orchiopexy. In literature Horner's syndrome was seen after caudal and total spinal anesthesia but Horner's syndrome together with subdural block right after caudal anesthesia is very rare. Anesthesiologist should be aware and alert such type of an unexpected complication of caudal anesthesia for uneventful overcome.
