It is characterized by an erythema associated with an intense sweating of one side of the face, and a pallor and anhidrosis of the other side. A complete workup to rule out secondary organic causes should be done properly. The medical or surgical options are only required if the patient is in demand of treatment.&nbsp; Psychological and social impacts of this condition should be considered while consulting patients for treatment options. We report a case of a 24 years old female patient who presented this syndrome during exercise and heat stress. She improved considerably after botulinum toxin injections.</p> ER -
