摘要

Abstract Primary erythromelalgia (PEM) is a rare condition characterized by severe burning pain, erythema, and increased temperature in the extremeties. Mutations in the Nav1.7 sodium channel encoded by the SCN9A are responsible for PEM. The pathophysiology of PEM is unclear, but the involvement of neurogenic and vasogenic mechanisms has been suggested. Here we report a case of severe PEM in a 9‐year‐old child with a novel SCN9A mutation and examine the distribution of nerve fibers and expression of neuropeptides in the affected skin. Gene mutation analysis revealed a novel mutation p.L951I (c.2851C>A) in the heterozygous form of the SCN9A. An immunofluorescence study showed that intraepidermal nerve fibers were decreased in the affected leg, suggesting small fiber neuropathy. There was no increase in the expression of substance P (SP) or calcitonin gene‐related peptide (CGRP) in the lesional skin tissue. These findings suggest SP and CGRP do not play a major role in the pathophysiology of primary erythromelalgia.
