ABS TRACT Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a painful clinical condition that usually appears in the distal extremity and is characterized by sensory, motor, autonomic, and trophic symptoms initiated by a trigger stimulus. The disorder is divided into two as Type 1 and Type 2 CRPS. Unlike Type 1 CRPS, peripheral nerve damage is observed in Type 2 CRPS. The etiology of CRPS often includes causes such as trauma, fracture, surgical intervention, immobilization, and stroke. The diagnosis of CRPS is usually made clinically, based on the anamnesis and examination findings of the patient. Success in treatment depends on early diagnosis and the prevention of complications. In this report, a rare case of Type 1 CRPS due to radial and ulnar artery thrombosis is presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
