Complex regional pain syndrome type 1 in a child

Abstract

Complex regional pain syndrome type 1 (CRPS 1), formerly known as reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD), is characterized by pain, sensory and vasomotor disturbances, trophic changes and impaired motor function. The pathogenesis of this syndrome is poorly understood, but its onset is often precipitated by a physical injury, such as minor trauma, fracture, infection or a surgical procedure. Medical interventions included those that were pharmacological (simple analgesics, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, tricyclic antidepressants, calcitonin, biphosphonate), those stemming from physiotherapy and those that were interventional (sympathetic blocks, surgery, sympathectomies). Herein, we report the case of a eight-year-old girl who was seen for a painful swelling of the right arm and hand, which occurred after a trauma to the shoulder. Her clinical findings returned to normal with intensive physiotherapy and a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug. It is worthy of reporting since CRPS 1 is seen rarely in children.
