I can't find a relevant meaning for "PSS".

glossopharyngeal, vagus and accessory nerve
Explanation:
I believe PSS stands for 'postranní smíšený systém' which is an umbrella term for the 3 nerves above. Unable to find a corresponding umbrella word in English but I guess you can use the verbatim.

Asker: Thanks for the suggestion. I'm not sure it fits here, though. There's no mention of Sjogren's in several pages about this patient.
