ABSTRACT
Horner's syndrome is rarely reported after epidural analgesia during labor. The use of Top-Up local anesthetic for controlling labor pain in the first stage of labor, or to dense the block in caesarean deliveries can result in this complication. We reported a cases of Horner's syndrome during epidural analgesia in labor in spite of not giving any Top-Up dose. The case was clinically evident and was successfully managed by stopping the epidural infusion, and reassuring the parturient as well as the family; until the disappearance of the signs and symptoms. The infusion was then restarted, delivery was uneventful and no consequent neurological or psychological problems were noticed after a one-month follow-up
