In contrast with acquired pain syndromes, molecular substrates for hereditary pain disorders have been poorly understood. Familial erythromelalgia (Weir Mitchell's disease), also known as primary erythermalgia, is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by burning pain in the extremities in
A 7 year-old girl was hospitalized with acute, severe and drug resistant erythromelalgia. During her stay in the hospital, she presented with an epileptic seizure associated with hypertension (220-120 mmHg). Catecholamine urinary excretion was markedly increased. Diagnoses of pheochromocytoma and
BACKGROUND
Essential erythermalgia is a rare acrosyndrome that is difficult to treat. Herein, we report a new case unusual in terms of both the associated partial epileptic seizures and of the favourable outcome achieved through antiepileptic treatment with oxcarbazepine.
METHODS
A male adolescent
Mercury intoxication is a rare cause of severe hypertension. A case of mercury intoxication presented with severe hypertension and erythromelalgia was reported. A 10-year- and -5-month-old girl presented with recurrent rash and painful hands for 2 months, with seizure attack and episodic loss of
Erythromelalgia is a neuropathic pain syndrome due to an autosomal dominant gene, characterized by erythema, increased skin temperature and burning pain in hands and feet, whose treatment is often unsatisfactory. In this paper, we report a case of a 9 years old female patient whose first episode of
OBJECTIVE
Mutations in SCN9A have been reported in (1) congenital insensitivity to pain (CIP); (2) primary erythromelalgia; (3) paroxysmal extreme pain disorder; (4) febrile seizures and recently (5) small fibre sensory neuropathy. We sought to investigate for SCN9A mutations in a clinically
Migraine-like cerebral transient ischemic attacks (MIAs) and ocular ischemic manifestations were the main presenting features in 10 JAK2(V617F)-positive patients studied, with essential thrombocythemia (ET) in 6 and polycythemia vera (PV) in 4. Symptoms varied and included cerebral ischemic attacks,
Neurological symptoms of transient unsteadiness, dysarthria, dysphasia, dysbasia, transient monoor hemiparesis, hemiparesis, scintillating scotomas, amaurosis fugax, vertigo, dizziness, migraine accompaniments, syncope and seizures were the presenting manifestations of thrombocythemia in various
Studies of genetic forms of epilepsy, chronic pain, and migraine caused by mutations in ion channels have given crucial insights into molecular mechanisms, pathogenesis, and therapeutic approaches to complex neurological disorders. Gain-of-function missense mutations in the brain type-I sodium
Mushrooms are a recognized component of the human diet, with versatile medicinal properties. Some mushrooms are popular worldwide for their nutritional and therapeutic properties. However, some species are dangerous because they cause toxicity. There are many reports explaining the medicinal and/or
