Reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome secondary to organophosphate intoxication induced neuropathy

Ann Nucl Med. 1994 Nov;8(4):299-300. doi: 10.1007/BF03165034.

Abstract

Reflex sympathetic dystrophy or Sudeck's atrophy is a syndrome that can usually be followed by a traumatic insult. This disorder is accompanied by signs and symptoms of vasomotor instability, trophic skin changes, and rapid development of bony demineralization. This report presents a case with reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome secondary to organophosphate intoxication induced neuropathy. The patient was threated with calcitonin well.
