Abstract
Horner syndrome (HS) occurs when there is interruption of the oculosympathetic pathway. The causes of HS are various,
but HS originated from herniated cervical disc is very few. HS attributable to the lesion of the first-order neuron of cervical
spinal cord is extremely rare. A 41-year old male was admitted for sudden onset of left ptosis and right side numbness.
Neurological examination revealed ptosis, miosis and facial anhidrosis on the left side. MRI and CT scans demonstrated
large left paramedian disc herniation with cord compression at the C4-5 level. The herniated disc was removed through
anterior approach and his symptoms were improved after the operation.
