Abstract:Ross syndrome is a rare disease characterized by peripheral nervous system
dysautonomia with selective degeneration of cholinergic fibers. It is composed
by the triad of unilateral or bilateral segmental anhidrosis, deep hyporeflexia
and Holmes-Adie's tonic pupil. The presence of compensatory sweating is
frequent, usually the symptom that most afflicts patients. The aspects of the
syndrome are put to discussion due to the case of a male patient, caucasian, 47
years old, with clinical onset of 25 years.
