A case report of horner's syndrome presenting post bimaxillary osteotomy

Bimaxillary osteotomy is a surgical procedure used to correct dentofacial deformity. Although the complication rates are low, there are some rare but serious complications of this procedure.1 This article looks at the recognized complications of orthognathic surgery and describes a previously undocumented incident of a patient who developed Horner's syndrome post bimaxillary osteotomy. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Although the general incidence of Horner's syndrome is low it can occur as an uncommon but serious complication of a variety of invasive surgical procedures. Its development can also be the sign of serious underlying disease, therefore it is important for all clinicians to be aware of the clinical signs of the syndrome and the appropriate management.
