Korean Journal of Clinical Neurophysiology 2015;17(2):53-60
Skin biopsy with investigation of small nerve fiber in human epidermis and dermis has been proven to be a useful method for demonstration of small fiber neuropathy. Quantification of intraepidermal nerve fiber density using anti-Protein Gene Product 9.5 (PGP 9.5) antibody is standardized method to diagnose the small fiber neuropathy. Skin biopsy method also makes it possible to differentiate the type of nerve fibers by using different antibodies. Quantification of dermal structures with different type of nerve fibers could be used to invest pathophysiologic mechanism of diseased state.

Erythromelalgia (EM) is an uncommon disorder characterized by redness, heat, and painful extremities with intense burning sensation. Attacks of EM may be worsened by limb warming, exercise, or dependency of the affected extremity. Although the coexistence of EM and Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) may appear to be opposites in symptomatology and clinical presentation, recent studies provide an explanation based on a dysfunction of the regulation of vasomotor tone. Here, we report a case of EM in a patient with RP.

An 8-year-old female has suffered from intense burning with redness and increased temperature of the feet and hands since 5-year-old. We observed increase of the skin temperature in relation of pain attack by the digital thermometer and the color television thermography. No specific abnormalities were noted in the laboratory studies. Treatment with various systemic and topical medication revealed of unfavorable result, but for the conservative mangement, the pain was relieved by the exposure to the cold environment-laying bare in the outdoors and the wind of the electric fan.

8.A Case of Primary Erythermalgia.

An 18-year-old man had suffered from intense burning with redness and an increased temperature of both the lower legs, forearms and hands since the age of 5. Symptoms were exacerbated by exposure to heat or walking. The patient obtained temporary relief by immersing his feet and hands in cold water. We observed the increase of skin temperature in relation to pain by thermography. No specific abnormalities were noted in laboratory studies. Treatment with aspirin was ineffective. We report a rare case of primary erythermalgia with typical features.

Erythromelalgia is a rare disorder characterized by intense hun ing pain in the distal extremities associated with erythema and increased skin temperature. The patient was a 42- year-old woman with a 5 year history of burning pain, erythema, and warmth of the skin on both hands and feet. She had been suffering from bronchiali astalima since childhood. The onset of the symptoms were temporally related to the attacks of hei bronchial asthma. Physical examination revealed mottled dusky red patches on her both ha ids and feet, and purplish acrocyanosis on the finger and toe tips. We present a case of secondary erythromelalgia associated with bronchial asthma and acrocyanosis.

Erythromelalgia is a rare neurovascular pain syndrome characterized by a triad of redness, increased temperature, and burning pain primarily in the extremities. Erythromelalgia can present as a primary or secondary form, and secondary erythromelalgia associated with a myeloproliferative disease such as essential thrombocythemia often responds dramatically to aspirin therapy, as in the present case. Herein, we describe a typical case of a 48-year-old woman with secondary erythromelalgia linked to essential thrombocythemia in the unilateral hand. As this case demonstrates, detecting and visualizing the hyperthermal area through infrared thermography of an erythromelalgic patient can assist in diagnosing the patient, assessing the therapeutic results, and understanding the disease course of erythromelalgia.
