Abstract

The article deals with angiotrophoneuroses, a large group of heterogenous disorders with an underlying dysfunction of vascular innervation. A  current classification of vegetovascular neuroses, their triggers and clinical manifestations are described. The main attention is paid to a  rare disease, erythromelalgia that is сharacterized by acute attacks of dilatation of small vessel of the extremities with associated severe pain, skin hyperemia and edema. We present a  clinical case of primary erythromelalgia in a 11-year old child. The complexity of diagnostics and treatment of the case were related to a combination of classical manifestation of the disease with advanced mental problems resulting in autoagressive behavior.
