We report a case of 37-year-old Pakistani Punjabi woman who visited the Eye
department of DHQ teaching hospital Sahiwal with complaint of drooping of
right upper eyelid following the thyroidectomy. This is to highlight the
importance of proximity of Thyroid gland and sympathetic trunk. Hence, to
make surgeon more vigilant to avoid risk of injury to sympathetic trunk so that
potentially stressing cosmetic disfigurement can be avoided. Moreover, this
would help the surgeon to undertake measures to lessen the risk of injuring the
sympathetic runk while doing the thyroidectomy.
