Frey's Syndrome
Frey’s Syndrome is a syndrome that includes sweating while eating (gustatory sweating) and facial flushing. It is caused by injury to a nerve, called the auriculotemporal nerve, typically after surgical trauma to the parotid gland. This nerve, when it heals, reattaches to sweat glands instead of the original salivary gland (which had been removed during surgery).
