Is Ross syndrome a dysautonomic disorder only? An electrophysiologic and histologic study

Ross Syndrome with Sweating Anomaly Associated with Sjögren Syndrome: An Infrared Thermo­graphic Case Study

“…However, as reported in several studies, the main objective symptoms were the concomitant presence of a well-delimited compensatory hyperhidrosis and a disabling heat intolerance (1,5,6). Ross syndrome is considered as the expression of an unknown injury to the peripheral autonomie nervous system (7). Its exact pathogenesis is unknown.…”

Electrophysiological Study in 2 Children With Transient Hypohidrosis Induced by Topiramate

“…18,19 The authors, using quantitative sensory testing, sweating assessment, and immunohistochemical study, found a progressive involvement of cutaneous sensory and autonomic innervation underlying the loss of sweating areas. On the other hand, paresthesia is a frequent reversible adverse effect of TPM, suggesting a peripheral sensory fiber dysfunction.…”

Small fibre neuropathies

“…A further biopsy at the proximal thigh can be useful to distinguish the length-dependent denervation typical of small fibre neuropathies from the non-lengthdependent pattern of sensory neuronopathies [22 ]. This technique has recently been used to investigate patients with Ross' syndrome [55], familial dysautonomia [56 ], and generalized anhidrosis [57 ].…”
