The etiology of notalgia paresthetica (NP), which is generally accepted as a sensory neuropathy in which the posterior branches of T2-T6 spinal nerves are affected, causes itching and/or paresthesia symptoms limited to the scapular paravertebral region, and causes heterogeneous cutaneous pigmentation in the affected area, has not been fully determined.Many factors such as genetic predisposition, chemical neurotoxicity and spinal nerve damage due to chronic trauma, increased local skin innervation have been blamed in the etiology 1.Although NP is reported to be a rare condition, it has been stated that it may not be rare in clinical practice due to diagnostic insufficiency 2.In this context, the identification of NP cases will increase awareness.It will also enable clinicians to consider NP in diagnosis and differential diagnosis.The aim of this paper is to discuss the coexistence between notalgia paresthetica and cervical discopathy in a young girl with a case report and to draw attention to the clinical importance of this rare condition in the young population.
