NOTALGIA PARESTHETICA

The signs and symptoms of DSN neuropathy bear a striking resemblance to several other diagnoses or findings in the cervicothoracic, scapular and posterolateral arm areas including cervicogenic dorsalgia (CD), notalgia paresthetica (NP), SICK scapula and a posterolateral arm pain pattern.

This feature has not been described in the literature pertaining to DSN irritation although it has been mentioned with regard to notalgia paresthetica. (11)

Dorsal scapular nerve neuropathy: a narrative review of the literature

The location of the pruritic area and the patient's clinical presentation led us to diagnose notalgia paresthetica. NP is a common dermatologic complaint characterized by unilateral pruritus that is medial or inferior to the scapula with dermatomal distribution.

Notalgia paresthetica (NP) is a neuropathy with unknown cause of thoracic spinal nerves T2-T6, particularly their dorsal branches.

A rare cause of neuropathic pain in the back: notalgia paresthetica

Notalgia paresthetica and brachioradial pruritus are two examples of severe itches that arise in the peripheral nervous system rather than on the skin.

Consider neurogenic causes for unexplained itch

Notalgia paresthetica and brachioradial pruritus are two distinct examples of severe itches that arise in the peripheral nervous system rather than on the skin.

Consider neurogenic causes for unexplained itch: evidence suggests that severe pruritus can be a symptom of spinal nerve compression or damage

* Notalgia paresthetica. This itch occurs lateral to the central spine, often just below the scapula.

History can reveal cause of neuropathic pruritus: although notoriously difficult to treat, neuropathic pruritis sometimes responds to certain medications

* Notalgia paresthetica. This itch occurs on the upper back between the shoulder blades, usually to one side of the midline.

Scratch beneath the surface to diagnose unusual itches

Radiographic evidence obtained from some of his patients suggests that, as with notalgia paresthetica, arthritic changes or disc protrusion correlate with the itchy area.
