title: [Sympathetic reflex dystrophy. Description of a pediatric case].
abstract: Reflex sympathetic dystrophy is a well known syndrome in adults, but often misdiagnosed in children. We describe a case occurred in a 12 years old girl. Psychological factors played a major role in the mechanism of the disease. Early recognition and prompt management allow complete recovery without sequelae.
