Abstract
Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD) or Complex Regional Pain Syndome Type-I (CRPS-I), a
disease of unknown prevalance, complicates any minor trauma, stroke, myocardial infection, colle’s
fracture, peripheral nerve injury and in one-fourth of cases without any precipitant factor. An
awareness of RSD and the injuries, illnesses and drugs that can provoke it is the first step to learn
for an early treatment and better outcome. Here we present a neglected case of RSD following
minor trauma who presented to us after 6-7 months of onset of disease. Delay in treatment resulted
in partial recovery of the patient.
