Reflex sympathetic dystrophy (chronic regional pain syndrome) isn't frequently encountered in practical pediatrics and childhood. Reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome (RSD) is a disorder characterized by widespread localized pain, often along with swelling, discoloration, trophic changes and autonomic abnormalities such as vasomotor disorders.
