Abstract
Central neurogenic pruritus is a rare symptom of central nervous syste m lesions, such as brain strokes, spinal tumors and multiple sclerosis . Only 26 cases appear in the literature. A further case is added. On the basis of similar features, it is speculated that central pruritus and central pain share a common origin.
