Abstract

GARCIA-RODRIGUEZ, Ana Mª; SANCHEZ-VELASCO, Miguel José  and  ALDUDO-AVILES, Mª Cruz. Late auriculotemporal syndrome in adult: Frey syndrome. Rev Clin Med Fam [online]. 2022, vol.15, n.1, pp.67-69.  Epub Apr 04, 2022. ISSN 2386-8201.

Objectives:

recognition of a very rare pathology in primary care whose clinical course includes a feeling of moisture on the face.

Methodology:

a case is reported in which after history the Minor test was proposed to elucidate both the affected area and its nature.

Conclusions:

when clinicians differentiate between facial secretions of unknown origin and composition, post-surgical pathology of the parotid may be suspected, even after a long time. This may or not require treatment for its resolution. It can also provide guidance both in terms of preference and final differential diagnosis with salivary fistulas or cerebrospinal fluid.

Keywords : Frey syndrome; auriculotemporal nerve; parotid gland.
