RESULTS: A 6-year-old female with cerebral dysgenesis and intractable partial seizures presented with Horner syndrome after vagus nerve stimulator implantation. CONCLUSION: Horner syndrome can occur as a result of the vagus nerve stimulator implant procedure and should be included as one of its possible surgical complications.
