AB Harlequin  Syndrome  is  a  condition  characterized  by  asymmetric  sweating  and  flushing  on  the  upper  thoracic  region  of  the  chest,  the  neck,  and  the  face.  It  is  usually  associated  with  an  injury  sustained  to  the  sympathetic  nervous  system.  It  can  also  be  the  result  of  a  unilateral  endoscopic  thoracic  sympathectomy  (ETS)  or  endoscopic  sympathetic  blockade  (ESB)  caused  by  surgery.  This  medical  condition  may  also  feature  dermatological  alteration  leading  to  scales  development  (“fish  skin  disease”).  Horner  Syndrome,  another  problem  associated  with  lesions  to  the  sympathetic  nervous  system,  is  often  seen  in  conjunction  with  Harlequin  Syndrome.  Associated  with  a  very  poor  prognosis  in  which  infants  die  usually  younger  than  1  week  of  age.
