  • Look Inside

 Frey's syndrome which consists of gustatory sweating and flushing after meal is a well known phenomenon due mostly to unskillful parotidectomy. The authors report a case of post traumatic manifestation of Frey's syndrome appearing in the left auriculotemporal region.

 Four years ago the patient was severely injured by an automobile accident with a blow on the auriculotemporal region and lost consciousness. The patient was diagnosed and treated as cerebral commotion and fracture of the left clavicle and the mandible. Since last year the patient has noted hearing impairment and tinnitus of the left ear and flushing sensation and sweating in the auriculotemporal region.

 The functional test of the salivary glands revealed hypofunction of the left parotid gland. A Minor's colorimetric method was performed to demonstrate the sweating after meal in the auriculotemporal region. The diagnosis of Frey's syndrome was made.

 The pathogenisis of Frey syndrome is belived to he due to misdirected regeneration of parasympathetic nerve fibers from the parotid gland growing into the sweat glands.

 The therapy for this disease and the tympanic nerve block was also discussed.
