[Post-traumatic algodystrophy in children]

The authors report two cases of Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD) significant by their releasing factor: initial trauma followed by surgical act. They describe the particularities of RSD in children compared with RSD in adult: differents localizations, X Ray films often normals or showing a local homogeneous osteoporosis, bone scintigraphy with variable result (increased or normal or less uptake of isotope), more rapidly favorable evolution.
