ICD-11 definition : Gustatory hyperhidrosis (Frey syndrome) is characterized by abnormal facial sweating
in response to eating or drinking. It may occur after damage to the facial nerve from
surgery, trauma or Bell's palsy. This may result in aberrant reinnervation of autonomic
nerve fibres to eccrine sweat glands instead of salivary glands. Thus when salivation
is stimulated, so is sweating.;
