Abstract

Frey syndrome, also known as gustatory sweating or auriculotemporal syndrome, is an uncommon condition, but a common sequela of parotidectomy. The syndrome is characterized by sweating, skin flushing, warmth, and pain associated with eating. The generally accepted pathophysiology involves regeneration of parasympathetic nerve fibers following trauma, most commonly surgical. Injection of botulinum toxin is the most common treatment; however, a variety of surgical techniques have also shown efficacy in preventing and treating this condition.
