Frey's Syndrome in a Child without Definite Causes
|
|
|
|
|
Abstract
|
|
|
Frey's syndrome is characterized by attacks of facial erythema and gustatory sweating occurring in the cutaneous distribution of the auriculotemporal nerve.
After sugery, trauma, abscess, or other diseases of the parotid gland, the postganglionic sympathetic and parasympathetic nerve fibers are disrupted. Some misdirected auriculotemporal nerve fibrils join with the distal sympathetic nerves
innervating the
sweat glands and subcutaneous vessels.
We report a case of Frey's syndrome in a 6-year old boy without any definite injury to the parotid gland. After considering our case and review of Frey's syndrome in children, we conclude that there may be a congenital defect in the
auriculotemporal
nerve innervation responsible for cases occuring in children. (Kor J Dermatol 1995;33(4) : 733~737)
