Type : Other, mainly phenotypes with suspected mendelian basis;
Alternative titles and symbols : Gustatory sweating; Frey syndrome; Auriculotemporal nerve syndrome;
Description : Gustatory sweating results from a disruption of the auriculotemporal nerve pathways.
Damage to the nerve may cause a misdirected regrowth that results in parasympathetic
innervation of sympathetic receptors and, therefore, facial sweating and flushing
with gustatory stimulation (summary by Dunbar et al., 2002).;
