Frey´s syndrome or auriculotemporal syndrome

Frey´s syndrome or auriculotemporal syndrome is a rare disorder which is little known in Paediatrics, resulting often in a undiagnosed pathology or confuse it as a food allergy. We report the case case of a six-month-old breastfed baby with no relevant medical history, whose parents brought her to hospital due to a repeated bright erythema around the temples within seconds to minutes of ingesting fruit puree. The erythema resolves spontaneously within a few minutes, the baby does not reject the food and she does not show any other symptoms. We believe this is an important disorder to take into account since it generates additional tests and unnecessary visits to specialized departments, while it could be easily managed in a Primary Care center.
