Abstract
in English, French

A case of a 62-year-old woman presenting with a 20-year history of vulvodynia previously unresponsive to medical treatment is described. The epidemiology, phenomenology and medical management of vulvodynia is reviewed. The case presentation illustrates the role of pregabalin in successful medical management of this chronic pain disorder, as well as the management of common psychiatric morbidities associated with this condition.

On décrit ici le cas d’une femme de 62 ans atteinte de vulvodynie depuis 20 ans et jusqu’alors réfractaire aux traitements médicaux. L’épidémiologie, la phénoménologie et le traitement médical de la vulvodynie sont également passés en revue. Ce cas illustre le rôle de la prégabaline dans la prise en charge médicale efficace de ce douloureux problème chronique et le traitement des morbidités psychiatriques courantes associées à cette maladie.
