[The surgical treatment of erythromelalgia by the destruction of the inlet areas of the posterior spinal nerve roots].
The paper presents a 13-year-old patient suffering from erythromelalgia in whom arm pain and burning ceased for 3 years after unilateral stereotactic cryodestruction of the thalamic ventrolateral nuclei. Following a relapse, reoperation on the other side turned out to be ineffective. Then the patient underwent destruction of the inlet areas of the spinal dorsal roots by breaking the cervical pain-conducting tracts. Pain and other autonomic manifestations of the disease came to an end. The authors give an anatomic and neurophysiological rationale for surgery.
