HYPERHIDROSIS KNOWLEDGE AND SCIENCE April 2007: Hyperhidrosis After Stroke Case Study Medical Publication: Contralateral Hyperhidrosis After Intracerebral Hemmorage Acta Neurol Taiwan 16(1):64-5, 2007 Synopsis: Single case study on an occurrence of hyperhidrosis after a stroke. A case report of a person who had a stroke and developed excessive sweating on the opposite side of the body from where the stroke affected the brain. These effects were due in part to the fact that the right side of the brain controls the left side of the body, and vice versa. Therefore, it would makes sense that the hyperhidrosis also developed on the other side of the body, opposite of the stroke area. Conclusion: This case points out a lot of what we don't know about excessive sweating. How exactly would a stroke trigger excessive sweating? Does it stimulate certain nerves? Is there a centrally located sweating center in the brain? Why was there excessive sweating on a broad area and not just a localized area? Lots of questions, not many answers. The authors do not offer answers to these questions, but rather point out the fact that rarely, strokes can be associated with hyperhidrosis, and that this was just an extremely rare case. |
