Abstract

|
|
|
Erythromelalgia is a rare clinical syndrome, characterized by paroxysmal localized burning pain, redness and increased skin temperature of extremities. About half of the erythromelagia patients have secondary causes, such as myeloproliferative diseases including essential thrombocytosis. A 43-year-old woman came to the Neurologic clinic due to uncontrolled paroxysmal localized pain and erythema of left toe. The pain gradually improved with aspirin and pregabalin combination therapy. And, thrombocytosis was found through a laboratory test, finally she was diagnosed as secondary erythromelalgia due to essential thrombocytosis.
