Abstract: | Segmental hyperhidrosis was seen in three cases of syringomyelia with Chiari malformation confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging. Using the iodine starch reaction, all three cases showed hyperhidrosis in the areas roughly corresponding to those of sensory disturbances. Two possible modes of pathogenesis are discussed: stimulation of preganglionic neurons and interference to the inhibitory tract. |
