Dr. Kshitija Kale

Abstract :

 Frey’s syndrome is a disorder characterized by unilateral sweating and flushing of the facial skin in the area of the parotid gland occurring during meals. (Malatskey, Rabinovich, Fradis, & Peled, 2002)

Frey’s syndrome is most often the sequelae of parotidectomy but also may follow other factors like post-surgical, traumatic and other inflammatory injuries of the parotid and submandibular glands and the cervical and upper thoracic portions of the sympathetic trunk. (Malatskey, Rabinovich, Fradis, & Peled, 2002)

Although most patients with Frey’s syndrome have only mild to moderate symptoms around 6% of the patients may develop severe symptoms. (Malatskey, Rabinovich, Fradis, & Peled, 2002)

The present article highlights a case report and a ief overview of Frey’s syndrome.
