Abstract:
A case of reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome (RSDS) in a patient with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is reported. We discuss the association of OI, manifested by microfractures of the trabecular bone due to marked bone fragility, and the appearance of RSDS. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was helpful in assessing the presence and extent of the trabecular fractures.
