Burning mouth syndrome and vulvodynia coexisting in the same patient: a case report

Dent Update. 2002 Mar;29(2):75-6. doi: 10.12968/denu.2002.29.2.75.

Abstract

The 'dynias' are a group of chronic focal pain syndromes with a predilection for the orocervical and urogenital regions. This is a case report of stomatodynia (burning mouth syndrome) and vulvodynia coexisting in a middle-aged woman. The dynias are an enigma in terms of aetiology, which is multifactorial, making clinical investigations difficult and often requiring liaison with other specialties.
