Erythromelalgia- a clinical sign never to be missed
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Abstract: Erythromelalgia is a rare clinical condition due to post ganglionic sympathetic dysfunction. Diagnosis of this disorder and differentiating it from other common burning pain syndromes like Raynaud’s phenomenon and small fibre neuropathy is often difficult. We report a patient who presented with redness, pain and burning sensation of hands, who was managed successfully with aspirin. Keywords: Thrombocythemia, Erythromelalgia, SCN9A gene, Aspirin
