  • Title: Child Neurology: An infant with episodic facial flushing: A rare case and review of congenital harlequin syndrome.
    Author: Kang JH, Shahzad Zafar M, Werner KE.
    Journal: Neurology; 2018 Aug 07; 91(6):278-281. PubMed ID: 30082439.
    Abstract:
    Congenital harlequin syndrome is rare dysautonomia of the face most often reported in adults and rarely in infants and children. It is a diagnosis of exclusion and a seemingly benign condition. We report a case of a 6-month-old girl with episodic unilateral and bilateral facial flushing provoked upon awakening and resolved with sleeping with associated autonomic features consistent with harlequin syndrome. This is followed by a review of cases identified regarding this condition in infants and children.
