We present the case of a 46\u2010year\u2010old woman who developed a partial Horner\u2019s syndrome following hemithyroidectomy and central neck dissection, without lateral neck dissection. The patient underwent right hemithyroidectomy and central neck dissection for a TIRADS\u20105 nodule and developed right sided facial anhidrosis and absence of right\u2010sided facial erythema on exertion 6 weeks post\u2010operatively. No ocular involvement was detected. Neurologist review confirmed partial Horner\u2019s syndrome, which eventually resolved. The literature regarding development of Horner\u2019s syndrome as a complication of thyroid surgery without lateral neck dissection was reviewed via PubMed. All English language publications of adult patients developing features of Horner\u2019s syndrome after open thyroid surgery (hemithyroidectomy or thyroidectomy, +\/\u2212 central neck dissection) were included. Twenty one cases of Horner\u2019s syndrome following thyroid surgery without lateral neck dissection were identified. Interestingly, only four of these cases featured anhidrosis, and no case reported asymmetrical facial erythema. Four possible mechanisms of cervical sympathetic chain dysfunction resulting in Horner\u2019s syndrome post\u2010thyroidectomy have been proposed: neuropraxia from retraction; mass effect from post\u2010operative haematoma; ischaemia\u2010induced nerve damage; damage to communicating fibres during repeated inspection of the recurrent laryngeal nerve. To our knowledge, this is the only reported case of a post\u2010thyroidectomy partial Horner\u2019s syndrome with associated asymmetrical flushing.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/crie\/1253094","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,24]],"date-time":"2026-04-24T06:14:02Z","timestamp":1777011242000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Partial Horner\u2019s Syndrome Following Thyroidectomy Without Lateral Neck Dissection: A Rare Case Report and Literature Review"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2026","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6165-0264","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eve","family":"Hopping","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6827-0088","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Femi E.","family":"Ayeni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5928-2597","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Senarath","family":"Edirimanne","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_12_1_2","first-page":"237","volume-title":"Thyroid Surgery: Preventing and Managing Complications","author":"Kus L.
