[Metaphyseal osteolysis. Unusual aspect of reflex algodystrophy in children (author's transl)]

Two children 7 and 14 years old respectively, presented with reflex neurovascular dystrophy. The salient feature of the disease consisted of osteolytic lesions of distal tibial and fibulal metaphyses. To out knowledge these were not previously reported. Complete recovery spontaneously occurred in a few weeks or months. Thus they do not require any treatment, which might be harmful.
