We herein report the case of a 37-year-old woman who sought medical attention due to facial erythema on the right side of her face as well as diaphoresis following stressful events or exercise. Clinical examination was unremarkable. Blood tests and Thorax CT excluded any structural causes. Given this, she was diagnosed with Harlequin syndrome. Therapeutic options were explained, and follow-up provided.

Keywords : Harlequin syndrome; anhidrosis; hemifacial erythema; autonomic; approach.
