Erythromelalgia is a very rare vascular disease affecting children and is accompanied by severe burning pain in the extremities. The disease is practically incurable. There are no recommendations in the literature concerning the possibility of managing the disease by stereotactic surgery. We operated on 3 children with severe pain due to erythromelalgia. The stereotactic destruction of VPL and CM was performed (in 2 cases on one side and bilaterally in 1). An excellent result with the disappearance of not only pain but all signs of the disease was noted in all cases (follow-up 8, 4.5 years and 6 months).
红斑性肢痛症是一种非常罕见的影响儿童的血管疾病，伴有四肢严重的灼痛。这种疾病实际上无法治愈。文献中没有关于通过立体定向手术治疗该疾病可能性的建议。我们对3名因红斑性肢痛症而遭受剧痛的儿童进行了手术。对腹后外侧核（VPL）和中央中核（CM）进行了立体定向毁损（2例为单侧，1例为双侧）。所有病例均取得了优异的效果，不仅疼痛消失，而且疾病的所有症状都消失了（随访时间分别为8年、4.5年和6个月）。
