Abstract
Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) can be a complication of injury or surgery or have an obscure etiology. Special precautions are indicated (i.e., preemptive analgesia) when surgery is required with a patient who has been diagnosed with CRPS. The complex case of a 44-year-old female diagnosed with reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) is discussed, including current treatment options. A brief review of the literature as well as the features of complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS I/RSD and CRPS II/causalgia) are presented.Entities:
