Abstract:
The authors describe a case of gustatory rhinorrhoea that appeared one year after skull trauma with delayed facial palsy. Traumatic interruption and abnormal regrowth of salivary parasympathetic fibers is hypothesized. In order to explain the pathogenesis of this syndrome an anatomical review of the transpetrosal nerves is included. A review of the literature is also presented.
