Abstract: Frey syndrome in childhood is a rare but benign condition with mild symptoms and a favorable outcome in most cases. Unilateral forms are mostly associated with instrumented delivery. Pediatricians should be familiar with this disorder in order to avoid misdiagnosis, mainly as food allergy, and unnecessary referrals and tests.

“…La mayoría de los niños diagnosticados con síndrome Frey no tienen antecedentes traumáticos o quirúrgicos de las glándulas parótidas, lo que implica un gran reto para los médicos. 9 Entre las causas de sus síntomas se ha reportado el antecedente de parto vaginal instrumentado (como en el caso número 2), las fracturas poscondilares, convulsiones o, incluso, infecciones como herpes zóster o parotiditis. 4,10 Se han reportado algunos casos familiares o malformaciones congénitas del nervio aurículo-temporal.…”
