title: Spontaneous reflex sympathetic dystrophy (Sudeck's atrophy) syndrome associated with idiopathic thrombocytopenia.
abstract: A 37-year-old woman developed reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) (Sudeck's atrophy) syndrome in the right foot. Simultaneously, she had idiopathic thrombocytopenia. There was no history of injury or bone fracture before onset of RSD. Spontaneous RSD associated with idiopathic thrombocytopenia has rarely been described. A possible relationship between the 2 conditions is discussed.
