Abstract:
The causal mechanisms of reflex sympathetic dystrophy are not limited purely to sympathetic hyperactivity, but sympathetic blockade and physical therapy are still the mainstays of current treatment modalities. We reported a case of reflex sympathetic dystrophy over the left lower leg, who was successfully treated with repeated lumbar sympathetic blocks and physical therapy.
