Özet

Notaljia parestetika T2-T6 spinal sinirlerin dağılım alanında yanıcı, batıcı vasıfta sırt ağrısına eşlik eden kaşıntılı hiperpigmente cilt lezyonu ile giden klinik bir tablodur. Etiyolojisi tam olarak aydınlatılamamıştır. Notaljia parestetika görece olarak sık karşımıza çıkan fakat çoğu zaman gözden kaçan bir patolojidir. Hastalar kaşıntı şikayetlerinin ön planda olması nedeni ile genellikle dermatoloji kliniklerine başvurmakta ve tanıda gecikme ya da atlanma yaşanmaktadır. Yaşam kalitesini düşürmesi nedeniyle erken tanı ve tedavisi önemlidir. Bu yazıda kliniğimize başvuran altmış beş yaşında erkek hasta literatür eşliğinde tartışılmıştır.
