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.
