Abstract
To describe the clinical phenotype of paroxysmal extreme pain disorder, an autosomal dominant condition in four members in one family with the mutation NM_002977.3:c.3892G > T (p.Val1298Phe) in the SCN9A gene. Clinical examinations and details from members of one Polish family were collected, including age at onset, features of attacks, problems between attacks, investigational results, treatments tried, and evolution over time. Twenty two individuals from this family with paroxysmal extreme pain disorder were identified. Seven of them presented clinical manifestation of paroxysmal extreme pain disorder, of which and in four were identified missens mutations in the SCN9A gene (NM_002977.3:c.3892G > T). The onset of the disorder took place in the neonatal period or infancy and persists throughout life. Autonomic manifestations predominate with extreme pain, skin flushing and harlequin colour change were observed in all. Attacks of excruciating deep burning pain often appear in the rectal, or jaw areas, but also diffuse in the body. Attacks are triggered by factors such as: defecation, eating, pressure and emotion. Carbamazepine and other antiepileptic drugs were only partly effective in almost all, but the response was incomplete. Paroxysmal extreme pain disorder is a hereditary sodium channelopathy with pain and an autonomic nervous system dysfunction. Paroxysmal extreme pain disorder is rare, so far only 500 cases of both women and men have been described in world literature.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
