Abstract
Generalised Cutaneous Dysesthesia Responding to Clonazepam
Eileen J McManus,Peter Wright1and Amanda Oakley2
We describe a rare case of distressing generalized cutaneous dysaesthesia in a
patient with hypertrophic lichen planus in which neurological evaluation was
normal. The dysaesthesia markedly improved with clonazepam. Most existing
therapies for cutaneous dysaesthesia are symptomatic, with our case supporting a
role for pharmacological modulators of GABAergic neurotransmission.
