Abstract

Ross syndrome is a rare syndrome of autonomic dysfunction which is characterized by segmental hypohidrosis/ anhidrosis, Adie tonic pupil and hyporeflexia/areflexia. Exact etiology is not known. It was first described in 1958 and approximately 50 cases have been described so far globally. We hereby report a case of segmental anhidrosis of left face, left upper limb and left side of chest with 3-year duration in a 26-year-old man who also had Adie’s tonic pupil in right eye and global areflexia on examination.
