Evaluation and Treatment of Frey Syndrome

چکیده
Hyperhidrosis or gustatory sweating in the region of the parotid gland was first mentioned by Kastremsky in 1740, Duphenix in 1757 and then by Baillarger in 1853. It was, however, the Polish neurologist Lucja Frey who described this condition as a new syndrome in 1923 [1,2]. Frey syndrome (FS) is characterized by localized cervicofacial hyperhidrosis and erythema during mastication in the area of distribution of the involved auriculotemporal nerve, a branch of the mandibular nerve (V3) [3]. Misdirected nervous regeneration, mostly as a result of parotid surgery, is thought to be the underlying cause of FS [4,5].
