This case report demonstrates neurologic sequela following treatment with doxycycline sclerotherapy. A six-week-old child presented with respiratory distress from a macrocystic lymphatic malformation, extending from the skull base to the anterior mediastinum. Following doxycycline sclerotherapy, the airway symptoms resolved; however, the child developed silent aspiration and Horner's syndrome. Two months following treatment the patient resumed oral diet and at one year post-intervention there has been no recurrence of symptoms, with only mild ptosis remaining.While neuropathies following doxycycline sclerotherapy have been described, aspiration has never been documented. This case demonstrates a single patient's clinical course and resolution of their neuropathies.
