Paresthesias are sensory symptoms that typically arise from damage or disorder of the somatosensory system. Patients of different age groups frequently report these symptoms as subjective issues. They can occur in healthy individuals as well as in people with various diseases. Paresthesias are a frequent symptom of a number of neurological and internal diseases. They occur in a heterogeneous group of disorders that affect both the central as well as peripheral nervous systems. In the following review, we present the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of paresthesias with an emphasis on severe acute diseases.

Keywords: impaired sensation, paresthesia, causes, differential diagnosis.
