Abstract
A 54-year-old woman had a 4-month history of sensitivity to all forms of light. Evaluation revealed no detectable abnormalities. A diagnosis of chronic cutaneous dysesthesia syndrome was made, and the patient experienced slow, steady resolution with oral pimozide. We discuss the classification, diagnostic categories, treatment principles, and prognosis of this disorder and summarize our experience with 13 other patients.
