Severe reflex sympathetic dystrophy of the foot with pseudoparalysis. Report of a case

A unique case of pseudoparalysis of the toes due to postsurgical reflex sym pathetic dystrophy syndrome (RSDS) of the foot is reported. Other manifesta tions were typical. RSDS can result in an extraordinarily broad range of cl inical manifestations, including neurological abnormalities. These various patterns have been described under many different names, and have been cons idered by some authors as distinct from typical RSDS, although they are sim ply part of the spectrum of this condition.
