ABSTRACT

La notalgia parestésica es una mononeuropatía sensitiva producida por atrapamiento de los ramos dorsales de las raíces espinales de D2 a D6, debido a que estos nervios se angulan 90° al pasar por la musculatura paraespinal. Se desconoce su causa, pero se ha visto relacionada con alteraciones en la estática de la columna a ese nivel (artrosis, escoliosis). Parestesias, prurito y quemazón son los síntomas más frecuentes y, junto con el hallazgo de una placa hiperpigmentada en dicha localización, constituyen los pilares de su diagnóstico. La electroneurografía muestra signos de denervación en las raíces afectadas. Únicamente la capsaicina tópica ha demostrado eficacia en ensayos clínicos. Otras terapias descritas en la literatura son la acupuntura, el bloqueo anestésico paravertebral local, la fisioterapia y la oxcarbazepina (AU)


Notalgia paresthetica is a sensory mononeuropathy producedby the dorsal spinal nerve root branch entrapmentfrom D2 to D6 because these nerves are angles 90° when passingthrough the paraspinal musculature. Its cause is unknownbut it has been observed to be related with alterationsin the spinal cord statics at this level (arthritis, scoliosis). Paresthesias,pruritus and burning sensation are the most frequentsymptoms. Together with the finding of a hyperpigmentedplaque at that location, they are the mainstay of itsdiagnosis. The electroneurography shows signs of denervationin the affected roots. Only topical capsaicin has beenshown to be effective in clinical trials. Other therapies describedin the literature are acupunture, local paravertebralblock anesthesia, physical therapy and oxcarbazepine (AU)
