“…Most of the vasomotor and sudomotor fibres involved in sympathetic innervation to the face arise from T2-3 and run together within the sympathetic chain, synapsing at the superior cervical ganglion, and then continue to their effectors via the carotid plexus. 2,4 Therefore, lesions in this region lead to loss of both flushing and anhidrosis, with the extent dependant on the site of the lesion. For example, complete hemifacial anhidrosis and loss of facial flushing indicates a lesion proximal to the superior cervical ganglion, resulting in contralateral compensatory facial flushing, whereas lesions distal to it will produce less extensive symptoms.…”
