Acroparesthesia

Acroparesesthesia (acro-para-asthenia) is a **symptom** consisting of the absence or insufficiency of cutaneous and kinesthetic sensitivity in the projection area of ​​the trigeminal nucleus, resulting from damage to the brainstem and/or corpus callosum. It is usually caused by damage to the medulla oblongata or pyramidal tracts (muscle spasm - ankylosing spondylitis reflex), and can also be caused by damage to the cerebellum. With acroparestic syndrome, a person may hear a sound when stroking the neck, touching the skin of the face and body, as well as a tingling sensation in the arms, legs and head, and even difficulty coordinating movements.

In general, acroparesis or acropasthesia is characterized by a decrease in the sensitivity of the hands and feet, often with a predominance of pain disturbances, most often occurring suddenly and easily curable.
