Abstract
In dermatological literature there is a great paucity of publications on reflex sympathetic dystrophy. A case history and a short review are presented. The variety of apparently unrelated clinical syndromes, terminology and therapy are discussed. It is generally assumed that a high sympathetic outflow, caused by short circuit is the basic mechanism underlying these syndromes. Treatment is directed at interrupting the high sympathetic outflow by means of ganglion blockade.
