Erythromelalgia (red feet and hands) as a manifestation of autonomic nervous system involvement in multiple sclerosis
Ivan Adameca Ines Lakoš Jukićb Mario Habekac
2016
Highlights
•
Erythromelalgia is a rare condition characterized by burning pain, erythema and increased temperature of the hands or the feet.
•
Its etiology is not completely understood but an underlying autonomic nervous system dysfunction may contribute to its pathogenesis.
•
We describe a patient with multiple sclerosis and sudomotor dysfunction who developed erythromelalgia of the feet.
Abstract
Erythromelalgia is a rare condition characterized by burning pain, erythema and increased temperature of the hands or the feet. Its etiology is not completely understood but it is believed that the underlying cause is a peripheral vascular dysfunction that leads to simultaneous tissue hypoxia and hyperemia. We present a rare co-occurrence of erythromelalgia and multiple sclerosis in a patient with autonomic nervous system dysfunction and propose a causative interconnection
