ABSTRACT

La notalgia parestésica (NP) es una neuropatía sensitiva comúnmente manifestada con prurito y aparición de una mácula hiperpigmentada a nivel del raquis dorsal en la mayoría de los casos. La fisiopatología de la NP es aún desconocida, aunque se considera su origen, por distintas causas, en una lesión producida en los nervios espinales. No existe un tratamiento definitivo para este desorden aunque son muchas las alternativas terapéuticas descritas. Presentamos el caso clínico de una paciente diagnosticada de NP y tratada satisfactoriamente con capsaicina, en quien encontramos una posible asociación etiológica con una siringomielia subclínica evidenciada en el estudio por resonancia magnética. Aunque teóricamente posible, no hemos encontrado otros artículos que asocien dichos cuadros (AU)


Notalgia paresthetica (NP) is a sensory neuropathy commonly manifested by pruritus and the appearance of a hyperpigmented macula, usually in the thoracic spine. The physiopathology of NP is unknown, although, for different reasons, its origin is considered to be an injury to the spinal nerves. There is no definitive treatment for this disorder, although many therapeutic alternatives have been used. We report the case of a patient diagnosed with notalgia paresthetica and successfully treated with capsaicin. In this patient, we found a possible etiological association with subclinical syringomyelia revealed by magnetic resonance imaging. Although this association is theoretically possible, we have found no other reports of an association between these two disorders (AU)
