His complaint did not improve with medication and physical therapy. On physical examination we observed multiple nodules on the right axilla, scapula, and colli region. Neurological examination revealed right sided partial ptosis, anisocoria, ipsilateral weakness, and ipsilateral allodynia, and anhidrosis T1 dermatome. CT-scan showed a right lung mass in the superior lobe of the apical segment. The diagnosis of Horner syndrome is then established caused by multiple lymphadenopathies.

Conclusion: Horner syndrome, characterized by ipsilateral pupillary anisocoria, ptosis and anhidrosis, is one of the complications of Pancoast tumor invasion to the sympathetic nervous system in the C8, T1, and T2 nerve territory.
