Resumen

El síndrome de Frey o síndrome auriculotemporal, incluye sudoración facial al estímulo gustatorio, más frecuentemente después de cirugía de la glándula parótida. Describimos el caso de un síndrome de Frey bilateral, después de una cirugía unilateral de la glándula parótida, y su tratamiento exitoso con toxina botulínica tipo A. Se trata de una mujer de 54 años de edad, remitida para tratamiento a nuestro servicio de rehabilitación por referir sudoración en la mejilla durante la masticación, 2 años después de cirugía de la glándula parótida. En la valoración con el test de iodo/almidón, se observó un área de sudoración en ambas mejillas, mayor en la homolateral a la cirugía. Ambas áreas fueron tratadas con toxina botulínica, 50 unidades en cada una con un total de 100 unidades reconstituidas en 2ml de solución salina estéril. A los 6 meses y al año de seguimiento, la paciente sigue asintomática. Nuestra paciente presentaba una forma inusual de síndrome de Frey y fue tratada con éxito con toxina botulínica. No hemos encontrado casos similares en la literatura de aparición en la edad adulta. La patofisiología del síndrome queda todavía por esclarecer.

Abstract

Frey syndrome, also known as auriculotemporal syndrome, includes facial gustatory sweating, mainly after surgery of the parotid gland. We describe a case of bilateral Frey syndrome after unilateral surgery and its subsequent successful treatment with type A botulinum toxin. A 54-year-old woman was referred for treatment to our physical medicine and rehabilitation department 2 years after parotid gland surgery complaining of sweating while eating in her ipsilateral cheek. When the affected area was assessed with the iodine and starch test, a hyperhydrotic area was revealed in both cheeks, which was greater in the ipsilateral cheek to surgery. Both areas were treated with botulinum toxin, 50 units in each, with a total of 100 units reconstituted with 2ml sterile saline solution. Injections were performed following recommended protocols every 1cm2. At 6 months and 1 year of follow up, the patient was asymptomatic. Our patient had an unusual form of Frey syndrome and was successfully treated with botulinum toxin. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of bilateral Frey syndrome beginning in adulthood. Further research is warranted to clarify the pathophysiology of this syndrome.
