Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy in Children
1 Department of Pediatrics, University of Kentucky Medical Center, Lexington
Two pediatric patients had reflex sympathetic dystrophy, which has been well described in adults but is rarely recognized in children. The syndrome consists of continuous pain, hyperesthesia, and autonomic symptoms occurring in an extremity, usually following trauma. The various types of presentation, differential diagnosis, and modes of therapy are discussed.
