User:Purplereign1/Ross' syndrome
Ross' syndrome consists of Adie's syndrome (myotonic pupils and absent deep tendon reflexes) plus segmental anhidrosis (typically associated with compensatory hyperhidrosis).[1]
It was characterized in 1958[2][3] by A.T. Ross.[4]
By 1992, eighteen cases had been documented.[5]
Signs and Symptoms
Initial manifestations often include an abnormal segmental sweating response (described as hyperhidrosis or anhidrosis in some patients) and a tonic pupil. Other commonly reported symptoms included fatigue, chronic cough, and increased urinary frequency.[6]
Pathophysiology
Diagnosis
Treatment
Prognosis
Ross syndrome is a non life-threatening benign condition but delay in diagnosis can result in slow progression of autonomic symptoms. [7]
Epidemiology
Ross Syndrome is a progressive autonomic dysfunction that can occur in any age, ethnicity, or gender. The average age of diagnosis for Ross syndrome is 36 years and RS has a slight female predominance.
