We report the case of a 17-year-old man who presented with
left-sided Horner's syndrome. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a
spindle-shaped cervical tumor in the left paravertebral space.
During operation, a tumor originating from the left sympathetic
trunk was found. The histopathologic analysis showed a sympathetic
paraganglioma. The sympathetic trunk is an extremely rare location
for a cervical paraganglioma; only a few cases have been reported in
the literature.
