: I'am suffering from facial hyperhydrosis. I,ve got messages that cutting T2
between T2 and T1 (but the closest possible to T2) could cure the situation.
I would like to have more information on this, an get more information on the
functions of T1 to T4.
Thanks in advance,
Jan
I had such a case few years ago, cured by cutting inferior 1/e of T1 (stellate ganglion) after T2 ganglionectomy did not work, He had a mild Horner's syndrome on one side (smaller pupil and sl eye lid droop), otherwise no swelling. Not seen another case.
