[Frey's sydrome secondary to an obstetrics trauma: Presntation of 2 cases and a review of the literature].

Frey's Syndrome is a little known condition and is probably under diagnosed in children. It consists of recurrent episodes of facial flushing and sweating triggered by gustatory stimulation. Although the exact etiology is unknown, an aberrant regeneration of the nerve fibers of the auriculotemporal nerve due to nerve injury, has been proposed as a pathophysiological mechanism. We report two new cases of Frey's syndrome secondary to obstetric forceps injury at birth and review the existing literature to date (37 articles describing 68 cases).
