[Chronic vulvar pruritus caused by terminal-fibre neuroma episiotomy scar (author's transl)].

Elucidation of pathogenesis is a major prerequisite for successful treatment of chronic vulvar pruritus. With the great number of episiotomies in modern obstetrics, episiotomy scars count as possible cause of pruritus. Traumatic terminal-fibre neuroma was established as pathogenetic factor in one case. Such almost a structural tumour was not histologically recordable unless special methods were applied.
