Summary:A case is reported of gustatory sudation of the cheek without previous parotid lesions. The results of pharmacological tests confirmed the neurogenic origin, blocked by atropine and stimulated by A.C. The published literature is reviewed and a tentative explanation suggested, based on the physiopathological mechanisms involved in Freis syndrome, that the lesion was of neuritic type but had not been recognized.
