Article Synopsis
- Ross syndrome is characterized by segmental anhidrosis, areflexia, and tonic pupils, with fewer than 60 documented cases, and possible autoimmune links suggested by the presence of antibodies in patients.
- A case series of 11 patients revealed a near-equal gender distribution, mean symptom onset age of 26, and an average delay of 6 years before reaching a specialist, with most presenting excessive sweating.
- Despite 89% showing absent sympathetic skin response and only 45% displaying all classic symptoms, the investigation found no autoimmunity markers, indicating that the syndrome's causes may not be purely autoimmune.
