Abstract
Erythromelalgia is a rare vasomotor neurosis of the extremities, with no accepted form of treatment. Posterior pituitary desiccated powder administered by nasal insufflation has a vasoconstricting action lasting for eight to twelve hours. With the use of this agent, one patient was protected from the incapacitating symptoms of erythromelalgia during the summer months.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
