title: Compensatory quadrant-hyperhidrosis after contralateral intrathoracic surgery: a case report.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Unilateral hyperhidrosis can be a neurological manifestation of irritations of the central or peripheral nervous system.
  
  
  METHODS
  We present the case of a 67-year-old German man who had hyperhidrosis of his right upper body quadrant (including face, arm, and chest) following intrathoracic surgery of a left-sided pleural lipoma.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  An isolated unilateral hyperhidrosis might occur after intrathoracic surgery. Besides anticholinergic drugs the use of botulinum toxin should be considered.
