  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

Two cases of unilateral hyperhidrosis of face have been reported. Case 1, a 27 years old male. He was first seen at Osaka City Univ-ersity Medical School Hospital on Aug. 7, 1953. In summer of 1952 he began to have pa-roxisrnal sweating on the right side of face. As a rule, exposing his face to sunlight, wal-king, and taking meals gave rise to sweating. On the right side of face the skin was redd-ened and the palpebral fissure was wide even in the absence of paroxism.

Case 2, a 48 years old married female. She was first seen on sept. 24, 1954. In 1949 she began to have occasional right-sided migrain-ous attacks. In addition, an emotional strain gave rise to paroximal sweating on the right side of face.

The hyperhidrosis of both cases was not of so-called gustatory type. The hyperhidrosis appeared not only in the auriculo-temporal re-gion, but in a whole region innervated by the right trigeminal nerve. When 0.7 c.c. of 1% solution of pilocarpin was administrated subcut-aneously, sweat appeared on the left side (the healthy side) earlier than the right side (the pathological side) in both cases.

The above-mentioned cases support us con-clude that the hyperhidrosis might be due to a continuously excited state of cervial sympa-thetic nerves. Sixteen cases similar to ours have been encountered among the articles wh-ich have been availabe to us. Reviewing these 16 cases, an excited state of cervial sympath-etic nerves, the author believes, seems to be an etiological factor for hyperhidrosis in these cases, too.
