AURICULOTEMPORAL SYNDROME

View through CrossRef
The auriculotemporal syndrome is described. It consists of sweating and redness of the cheek brought on by eating in a person who has sustained injury to the auriculotemporal nerve in the region of the parotid gland. A case of the auriculotemporal syndrome is reported in a child following parotitis of the newborn infant treated by incision and drainage. The basic etiology of the syndrome is unknown. Certain physiologic considerations are discussed. The condition is benign, nonprogressive and one in which surgical division of the auriculotemporal nerve should be curative. Surgical interference in the parotid area should be avoided whenever possible to prevent the possible occurrence of the auriculotemporal syndrome.
