Abstract
in English, French

Horner's syndrome is a rare and benign complication of neuraxial analgesia during labour. We report the case of a Gravida 1 patient complaining of ptosis, enophthalmia and meiosis during labour, a few hours after a lumbar epidural analgesia was initiated.

Le syndrome de Claude Bernard Horner est une complication rare et bénigne de l’analgésie neuraxiale pour le travail obstétrical. Nous présentons ici le cas d’une patiente primigeste présentant une symptomatologie associant ptosis, énophtalmie et myosis en cours de travail, quelques heures après l’initiation d’une analgésie péridurale lombaire.

Keywords: Horner’s syndrome; Lumbar epidural; Obstetric.
