Resumen
PEINADO ADIEGO, Carmen; OLLOQUI ESCALONA, Aránzazu y ARCAUZ EGUREN, M.ª Paz. Frey´s syndrome or auriculotemporal syndrome. Rev Pediatr Aten Primaria [online]. 2016, vol.18, n.71, pp.e93-e96. ISSN 1139-7632.
Frey´s syndrome or auriculotemporal syndrome is a rare disorder which is even less common in children, resulting in it being often undiagnosed or misdiagnosed as a food allergy. We would want to introduce the case of a six months-old breastfed baby with no relevant medical history, whose parents brought her to hospital due to a repeated bright erythema around the temples within seconds to minutes of ingesting fruit puree. The erythema resolves spontaneously within a few minutes, the baby does not reject the food and she does not show any other symptoms. We believe this is an important disorder to take into account since it generates additional tests and unnecessary visits to specialized departments, while it could be easily treated by general practitioners.
