Abstract

Two cases of aquired segmental anhidrosis are reported. Case one was a 35-year-old man, who had noticed a decreased sweat secretion on the left side of his body during exercise for about a year. On inspection, he had Adie’s syndrome (tonic pupil and a disappearence of the deep tendon reflexes), and decreased and/or no perspiration over his entire body except for the right Th9-12 area. His physical status and the results of blood tests showed him to have neither endocrine, central and peripheral nervous system disorders, nor any cutaneous diseases. A skin biopsy from the non-sweating area revealed no pathological change. He was diagnosed as having Ross’ syndrome and was treated with PSL pulse therapy with little effect. Case two was a 19-year-old man, who had noticed anhidrosis on the left side of his face and chest during exercise for about 6 months without clinical symptoms. On examination, he showed no sweating on his left C1-Th3 area. He had neither endocrinological, somatic neurological, cutaneous deficits nor autonomic failure except for anhidrosis. A biopsy specimen from the non-sweating area showed no pathological change. We diagnosed him to have idiopathic segmental anhidrosis (ISA) and he was followed up with no treatment.
