Abstract
Presentation of a case of perioral Frey syndrome.
Case report.
A 72-year-old woman with hyperhidrosis around the mouth and chin.
This patient suffered from bilateral perioral gustatory sweating following a mandibular osteotomy; such a case has not previously been described. Possible pathophysiological hypotheses are discussed in relation to the anatomy and innervation of the salivary glands.
Perioral gustatory sweating is a rare complication of osteotomy.
