Eritema facial unilateral asociado a estímulos gustativos en un lactante: síndrome de Frey

Title: Unilateral facial erythema in response to gustatory stimuli in an unweaned baby: Frey syndrome We present the case of an auriculotemporal syndrome or Frey syndrome in an unweaned baby who was delivered with the assistance of forceps. Frey syndrome in childhood is characterized by recurrent episodes of facial erythema along the distribution of the auriculotemporal nerve. It appears to be a mild condition that tends to disappear spontaneously with time and no specific therapy is needed in affected children. It is important for pediatricians to be familiar with this syndrome that can be interpreted as a food allergy and to avoid unnecessary investigations.
