Horner's syndrome is a clinical syndrome caused by damage to the cervical sympathetic ganglia. We discuss a case with classic signs of Horner's syndrome in an intravenous drug user with a right septic subclavian artery pseudoaneurysm. This case highlights that with the increasing intravenous drug use, this rare presentation of HS may become more common.
