Abstract:
Harlequin syndrome is a rare combination of symptoms, characterized by unilateral facial anhidrosis and paleness on the affected side, becoming obvious by contralateral flushing mainly during sports activity. The syndrome is mostly idiopathic, however it is also described as a complication of thoracic surgery, i.e. superior lobectomy. Here, we report on two cases of Harlequin syndrome following scoliosis surgery at the cervicothoracic junction.
