title: [Sudeck's disease in osteoblastoma of the right talus and depression in a 12-year-old boy. Case report].
abstract: This is a case report of a 12-year-old boy with reflex sympathetic dystrophy who had surgery for two benign tumors of the right talus. The reflex sympathetic dystrophy began before the first tumor was diagnosed and at a time when the boy was under emotional stress because of conflicts relating to his parents' divorce. The case is typical of reflex sympathetic dystrophy in children, which is only rarely reported. Associated with the syndrome are anxiety, depressive symptoms, emotional instability and acute stressful life events, which makes an interdisciplinary approach imperative.
