Reflex sympathetic dystrophy: A review

Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 1990
Reflex sympathetic dystrophy is a unique traumatic disorder with unusual cutaneous signs. The case of a patient with an uncommon, poorly understood, sharply marginated geometric zone of erythema is reported. Pseudo-Kaposi's sarcoma developed in the same patient in the foot affected by reflex sympathetic dystrophy, an association not previously reported.

Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy in Children

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1982
Six patients with reflex sympathetic dystrophy were investigated during the period between 1973 and 1978. Children do not develop the severe, disabling pain nor the patchy osteoporosis (Sudeck's atrophy) which are considered essential features of reflex sympathetic dystrophy in adults.

POSTHEMIPLEGIC REFLEX SYMPATHETIC DYSTROPHY

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1958
Hemiplegia in the six cases here described was followed by a painful syndrome in the affected upper extremity. Progressive changes were observed in soft tissues, joints, and bones. Ipsilateral stellate ganglion blocks afforded prompt but not always permanent relief, and the two patients who submitted to high thoracic sympathectomy obtained lasting ...

Reflex sympathetic dystrophy is a well-recognized syndrome in human patients following injury to an extremity. The syndrome may include hyperesthesia and autonomic changes. The autonomic changes are initial vasodilatation followed by vasoconstriction (e.g., edema followed by cyanosis, and cool skin); hyper- or hypohydrosis; atrophic changes in the skin,

Clinical Neuropharmacology, 1993
Treatment of reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) is primarily surgical. Typically, regional sympathetic blockade or sympathectomy is employed. Alternatives to neurosurgery, such as pharmacotherapy, include systemic corticosteroids and antidepressants. However, side effects and nonresponders to these approaches are not uncommon.

Tremor in Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy

Archives of Neurology, 1991
Postural hand tremor was quantitatively investigated on both sides in 21 patients suffering from unilateral reflex sympathetic dystrophy of the upper extremity. On the affected side, enhanced tremor amplitude, with a mean tremor frequency of 7.2 Hz, was found in 57% of the patients.

Pathogenesis of Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy

Archives of Neurology, 1989
To the Editor. —In the review of reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) in the May 1987 issue of theArchives, 1 Schwartzman and McLellan state "no single hypothesis proposed to date explains all of the features of RSD." In response, the following hypothesis, based on a peripheral neuronal vicious circle, is submitted.
