Late Contralateral Hyperhidrosis in Lateral Medullary Infarcts
Stroke 27:991-995, Roussezux,M.,et al, 1996
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Contralateral hyperhidrosis can be observed in the late phase after lateral medullary infarct and is likely due to lesion of the sympathetic pathway passing through the lateral medulla,which inhibits sudomotor neurons.Evaluation of sympathetic skin response may help to explain such clinical disorders.
