title: [Contralateral hyperhidrosis secondary to the pontine infarct].
abstract: Unilateral hyperhydrosis due to a cerebral infarct is a clinical sign rarely described in the literature, the significance of which is unknown and may be due to a lesion of the crossed sympathetic inhibitory tract. We describe the case of a patient with contralateral hyperhydrosis due to a hemipontine infarct.
