We present a kindred of 29 persons affected with erythromelalgia (erythermalgia) in 5 generations. This paper updates the family reported by Burbank et al. [1966]. Patients have symptoms of intermittent intense burning limb pain related to increased skin temperature. No successful treatment has been identified, and the pathogenetic mechanism has not been established. Most affected individuals are female.
A case of internal mammary artery-to-pulmonary artery fistula is presented, and all previously reported cases are reviewed. This represents a rare cause of a continuous precordial murmur that may be confused clinically with a patent ductus arteriosus. Patients are usually asymptomatic, and routine diagnostic tests may be of little help in establishing a diagnosis. Selective internal mammary angiography is the procedure of choice for confirmation and localization. The question of advisability of surgery for these patients remains unanswered.
