[Erythermalgia: a rare vascular acrosyndrome].
A case of erythermalgia with arterial hypertension that appeared in a 13 year-old boy is described. This condition led to a loss of weight of 10 kg within one month. None of the diseases known as a cause of this rare condition was found. Clinical manifestations were only improved when extremities were placed in cold water: treatment with pizotifene was also effective suggesting the role of serotonine in the mechanism of the crises.
