Two children (an 11-year-old boy and a 15-year-old girl) with erythromelalgia and uncontrollable pain in the lower extremities were treated by stereotaxic destruction of VPL and CM and (in one case) by partial rhizotomy. Pain in the extremities and the clinical manifestations of erythromelalgia disappeared after surgical treatment (follow-up periods of 5 and 2 years, respectively). The mechanism of the therapeutic effect of these operations is still not clear. Similar cases are not described in the literature.
两名患有红斑性肢痛症且下肢疼痛无法控制的儿童(一名11岁男孩和一名15岁女孩)接受了立体定向毁损腹后外侧核(VPL)和中央中核(CM)治疗,其中一名还接受了部分神经根切断术。手术治疗后,肢体疼痛和红斑性肢痛症的临床表现消失(随访期分别为5年和2年)。这些手术的治疗效果机制仍不清楚。文献中未描述类似病例。
