    Summary

    A prolonged illness mimicking reflex sympathetic dystrophy was diagnosed as anterior interosseous nerve compression syndrome. This case highlights the importance of considering nerve compression in complex pain presentations.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopaedics
    • Neurology
    • Pain Management

    Background:

    • Reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD), now known as complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), is a challenging diagnosis often characterized by prolonged pain and functional impairment.
    • Patients may present with a constellation of symptoms that can mimic various neurological and musculoskeletal conditions, leading to diagnostic delays.

    Observation:

    • A patient experienced a prolonged illness with symptoms suggestive of reflex sympathetic dystrophy.
    • Despite undergoing multiple examinations and referral to a pain clinic, the diagnosis remained elusive.
    • The patient sought a second opinion from an orthopaedic surgeon, prompting a re-evaluation.

    Findings:

    • The orthopaedic surgeon identified the patient's symptoms as being caused by a compression syndrome affecting the anterior interosseous nerve.
    • This diagnosis of anterior interosseous nerve syndrome provided an alternative explanation for the patient's prolonged symptoms.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of a thorough orthopaedic and neurological examination in patients with persistent pain syndromes.
    • It highlights the potential for nerve compression syndromes to present with atypical symptoms, mimicking more common conditions like CRPS.
    • Accurate diagnosis of nerve compression is crucial for effective treatment and improved patient outcomes, avoiding unnecessary interventions for misdiagnosed conditions.
