Resolution of generalized compensatory hyperhidrosis related to sympathectomy, after T2 sympatholysis

Compensatory hyperhidrosis (CH) is common after sympathectomy, and most treatments are ineffective. We present a 36-year-old man whose CH was effectively treated with percutaneous sympatholysis. The patient's axillary-palmar hyperhidrosis had been treated with T3-4 sympathetic ligation. The patient developed CH involving the head, face, back, torso and feet and was referred for computed tomography-guided percutaneous T2 sympatholysis for craniofacial symptoms, after which the patient experienced resolution of CH (complete face/neck/feet and partial back/torso), despite the treated level being above the previous ligation.
