Harlequin syndrome in a subject with multinodular goiter and an elevated tryptase levels
A 54-year-old woman with multinodular goiter presented with progressively worsening flushing and sweating of right side of her face with contralateral anhidrosis induced by exercises for the past 5 years. These episodes would last for approximately 25 minutes to 2 hours. She did not have any previous trauma or injury to her head and neck, particular infections, pneumonias, or sinusitis. Examination revealed no abnormalities except for an enlarged thyroid gland. Laboratory testing revealed positive ANA with titer 1:64, abnormal immunoglobulin levels with total IgG 867 mg/dL (normal 700-1,600 mg/dL), IgM 178 mg/dL (40-230 mg...

Do you know this syndrome? Harlequin syndrome
We report a case of idiopathic harlequin syndrome in a 34-year-old man with a 5-month history of unilateral facial flushing and sweating after exercise. Despite the rarity of this syndrome, dermatologists should be aware of this condition in order to diagnose properly and provide multidisciplinary assistance.

258 National survey of quality of life and disease severity in patients with congenital ichthyosis
We examined the relationship between disease severity and QOL in patients with CI, especially in patients with harlequin ichthyosis (HI) and ichthyosis: syndromic forms (Netherton syndrome, Sj ögren-Larsson syndrome, Dorfman-Chanarin syndrome, keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness syndrome, and trichothiodystrophy). Patients with HI or ichthyosis: syndromic forms who were aged 8 years or older and who participated in a multicenter retrospective questionnaire survey in Japan were assessed by derm atology life quality index (DLQI, range of 0-30) and CI disease severity score (range of 0-100).

Postoperative Harlequin Syndrome: Case Report of a Rare but Clinically Striking Condition
We present a case of a 2-year-old boy who underwent thoracoscopic resection of a left paraspinal mediastinal mass and developed Harlequin syndrome postoperatively. Harlequin syndrome is a rare neurological condition characterized by unilateral hyperhidrosis and erythema of the head and neck. Our discussion highlights this condition and other differential diagnoses that may present similarly in the postoperative period. (Source: A&A Case Reports)

Harlequin syndrome and Horner syndrome after neck schwannoma excision in a pediatric patient: A case report
We report a case of harlequin syndrome associated with Horner syndrome in an 11-year boy who underwent excision of right neck schwannoma.
Lessons:
Clinicians should consider the point that harlequin syndrome could occur as a first sign of more serious conditions. (Source: Medicine)

Development of Harlequin Syndrome following placement of thoracic epidural anesthesia in a pediatric patient undergoing Nuss procedure
We report the development of Harlequin Syndrome following thoracic epidural placement in a pediatric patient. Unilateral facial flushing with contralateral pallor and anhidrosis is the clinical presentation. This syndrome is typically benign. When related to regional anesthesia, treatment involves reducing the local anesthetic infusion or stopping it altogether.

Three Extremely Rare Findings in the Same Patient: Harlequin Syndrome, Thyrocervical Trunk Aneurysm and Systemic-Pulmonary Arterio-Arterial Fistula
Harlequin syndrome is a rare autonomic disorder characterized by unilateral diminished sweating and flushing of the face in response to heat or exercise. Extrinsic ganglion compressions, most of the times by neoplasms, can induce the syndrome. During investigation of a 27 year-old woman presenting Harlequin syndrome with diminished sweating on the left side and flushing of the right half of her face, a left thyrocervical trunk aneurysm was detected by angio MRI. Thyrocervical trunk aneurysms are rare and only a few cases have been reported. (Source: Annals of Vascular Surgery)

During investigation of a 27-year-old woman presenting Harlequin syndrome with diminished sweating on the left side and flushing of the right half of her face, a left thyrocervical trunk aneurysm was detected by angio-magnetic resonance imaging.
