title: [A case of reflex sympathetic dystrophy in childhood].
abstract: Reflex sympathetic dystrophy, a well-described clinical entity that is frequently encountered in adults, is uncommonly reported in children. We report a case of reflex sympathetic dystrophy in a little girl aging 8 years. The main symptom was the acute pain referred to the right lower extremity. We underline once more the difficult of diagnosis and the contribution of 3-phase bone scan.
