Abstract
|
|
|
Frey’s syndrome is a syndrome of localized preauricular facial sweating during mastication associated with
flushing and pain. It may be a sequela of parotid surgery or penetrating injuries to the parotid gland and has been
reported as a result of traumatic forceps delivery, central nervous system diseases, cervical sympathectomies,
radical neck dissections, and subcondylar fracture. A 21-year-old male patient came to our hospital because of
diplopia for 13 days after right facial trauma. Right blowout fracture of the inferior orbital wall was observed
from computed tomography. He suffered diplopia from all directions of gaze, and we carried out reduction of
right blowout fracture with transorbital approach on 15 days after trauma. On 40 days after the operation, he
sweated on the right side of forehead and auricle when he ate food, and Minor’s starch test showed a positive
response. We followed up and observed the symptoms because they were not serious, and the patient’s subjective
symptoms were disappeared after 3 months. We report a case of Frey’s syndrome after blunt facial trauma
with a review of literature.
