Ross Syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by tonic pupils, hyporeflexia, and abnormal segmental sweating. The pathophysiology of the disease remains unclear, with either hypohidrosis or hyperhidrosis reported in individual patients. We present the case of a man, aged 57 years, who presented with hyperhidrosis in his right extremities, anhidrosis in the left extremities, and changes in his pupils. The disease was not associated with markers of autoimmune disease, which supports recent research findings on the role of neurodegeneration. The patient's son was exhibiting similar symptoms, which implicates genetic inheritance in the process. A multidisciplinary approach is crucial for the diagnosis and ultimate management of patients with Ross Syndrome.
