title: [Erythermalgia and type 1 diabetes: diagnosis and management issues. A case report].
abstract: Erythermalgia is a very rare acrosyndrome mainly characterized by lower limbs pain. It is either primitive or secondary. Concomittence of erythermalgia and diabetes is a coincidence and since the latter induces neuropathic and vascular lesions, erythermalgia is then considered as a consequence. We report the case of a young type 1 diabetic patient who presents with severe form of erythermalgia. Through this case report and a review of the literature, we shall explain the etiopathogenic mecanisms involved in erythermalgia in a diabetic patient and highlight the diagnosis and management challenges.
