Reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome coincident with acute diabetic neuropathy.
Diabetes mellitus and peripheral neuropathies are considered to be unusual causes of the reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome. Their coexistence in a patient with this syndrome is rare and considered to be incidental. We report a case in which remission of the syndrome accompanied the resolution of the diabetic neuropathy. A possible pathophysiologic mechanism connecting these conditions is discussed.
