Ross Syndrome is a rare neurological disorder that affects the autonomic nervous system, causing episodes of sweating, flushing, and pallor. The most common symptoms are episodic, recurrent autonomic dysfunction, including episodes of flushing, sweating, and pallor, as well as tachycardia, hypertension, and bradycardia. Additionally, affected individuals may experience a range of other symptoms, such as headache, nausea, dizziness, fatigue, and palpitations. Some individuals may also experience episodes of syncope, or fainting. Other symptoms may include numbness, tingling, and abdominal pain. In some cases, there may be an associated learning disability or cognitive impairment. Treatment is largely symptomatic and may involve medications to control autonomic symptoms, as well as lifestyle changes to reduce the frequency and severity of episodes.
