| Summary: | Complex regional pain syndrome type 1 (CRPS-1) is a
chronic pain syndrome characterized by severe pain,
swelling, autonomic dysfunction and dystrophic changes
in affected extremity. RSDS is a rare disease in children
and usually occurs after trauma, however, without trauma
may also occur.
We were detected CRPS-1 activated by cold and stress
and characterized by recurrent attacks in the bilateral
upper extremities in 14 year-old girl, which is similar to
Raynaud’s phenomenon. We present this case with the
literature because of its rarity and atypical course. |
