Oculosympathetic paresis after selective neck dissection: A ‘distant’ complication

A 76 year old Caucasian lady underwent left sided selective neck dissection as part of her ablative surgery for poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the left lingual mucosa. Postoperatively, the patient had no immediate surgical complications except that she complained of drooping of the left eyelid in the immediate aftermath (see Figs. 1 and 2).
