====== Thermoanaesthesia ======


loss or absence of the ability to distinguish between heat and cold by touch.

===== Case report =====

A 53-year-old female patient presenting with impaired [[Thermoception]] on the left half of her body, from the [[neck]] down, following a small [[infarction]] of the right midlateral [[medulla]]. The chronological changes in the patient's introspection regarding impairment of [[thermoception]] and the results of detailed somatosensory tests, including thermal sense, are shown in this report.

Thorough [[somatosensory]] tests, personal descriptions of symptoms, and electrophysiological quantification of similar cases are needed to improve our understanding of the neurological separation of the sensations of [[pain]] and [[temperature]] at the medullary level
