“…This work corroborates similar work in monkeys by G A Gates and W Litton (Ross 1970) and is strong evidence in favour of intratympanic sectioning of the tympanic nervẽ o relieve gustatory sweating following parotidectomy. Tympanic nerve section in rabbits has een Shown to produce parotid acinar atrophy (Wallenborn 1968).…”

r he P~enomenon of gustatory sweating was first described in 1757 by Duphenix and quoted y Baillarger (1853). The eponymous title of Frey's syndrome was placed on a disorder haracteri zed by profuse sweating, often accompanied by vasodilatation, in the area I(nnervated by the auriculotemporal nerve, after a description of this disorder by Lucie Frey 1923). Her classic case followed a bullet wound to the parotid region and she termed the resultant gustatory phenomenon 'the auriculotemporal syndrome'. Freedberg et al. (1948) collected 35 cases from the literature but, since this time, many more cases have been reported resulting from the increased surgery of the parotid gland. Laage-~l

“…In parotid sialectasis the purpose of the neurectomy is to destroy secretomotor fibres to the (1-10 years) Post-operatively parotid thus abolishing or reducing its secretion. Wallenborn (1968) reported atrophy of the parotid glands in rabbits 29 weeks after resection of the tympanic plexus. However, nerve regeneration and/ or incomplete sectioning of the nerve are possible reasons for failure (Resouly, 1973).…”

The term sialectasis refers to dilatation of the salivary ducts. Parotid sialectasis presents itself as recurrent painful swellings during mastication and/or swallowing. Our results with 10 cases treated by tympanic neurectomy over a period of nine years, from 1983 to 1992, were encouraging as seven cases had improvement of their symptoms.Anatomy of the tympanic plexus and surgical procedure are discussed as well as a review of the literature.We recommend extensive interruption of the secreto-motor nerve fibres by thoroughly drilling into the hypotympanum and below the basal turn of the cochlea. We also recommend that this be carried out by an experienced otologist to avoid possible complications.
