Resolution of Chronic Vulvar Pruritus With Replacement of a Neuromodulation Device

Vulvar pruritus is typically associated with fungal, bacterial, and/or dermatological conditions that routinely resolve with the use of topical medications. Pruritus rarely becomes chronic in nature without a definable pathological diagnosis. However, when this occurs, management is difficult and has limited treatment options. Few cases have reported resolution of vulvar pain or discomfort with sacral neuromodulation implantation. We report a case in which a patient experienced chronic vulvar pruritus that was refractory to medical treatments and did not have a pathological diagnosis. A neurological etiology was suspected, and upon replacement of the patient's sacral neuromodulation device, complete resolution of the vulvar symptoms occurred.
