Abstract:
Frey syndrome is characterized by sweating and flushing on the auriculotemporal region in respense to gustatory stimuli following surgery, trauma or irfection of the parotid areas. A 22-year-old man had received a surgery for sclerosis and hypertrophy of the left mandible. Two months after operation gustatory sweating occurred, whenever he eats, on the malar area without any detectable flushing or sensory impairment. Sweating starts in 30 seconds during food intake and is clearly visible with naked eyes within 2 minutes. This syndrome is encountered uncommonly to the dermatologic practitioners but more cases might be discovered if more attention could be given to this condition.
