title: [Complex regional pain syndrome type 2 after radial artery catheterization: a case report].
abstract: Complex regional pain syndrome has multiple causes. The clinical picture includes pain that can be debilitating, along with vascular and motor abnormalities, changes in sweating, delayed recovery, eating disorders, and occasionally psychological changes. Treatment is complex and should be started early if symptoms are to be reversed. We report the case of a man who developed complex regional pain syndrome type 2 in his left arm after surgery with extracorporeal circulation to repair an interatrial septal defect. The clinical picture was believed to have been triggered by catheterization of the radial artery.
