Abstract:Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is a condition characterized by chronic burning pain, swelling and colour changes commonly affecting hands. We report a case of CRPS in a 26 year-old female in whom non-operative therapy had failed, with full degree of pain relief achieved by Endoscopic Thoracic Sympathectomy. Her peroperative period was uncomplicated and symptoms were improved immediately after the surgery. In the post-operative period she developed a pneumothorax, a known complication of the procedure.
