【 摘 要 】

Reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) is a chronic painful disorder in the distal parts of the extremities. It usually de­velops after minor trauma or fractures but etiopathogen­esis is not completely known. Its diagnosis is very difficult in children compared to adults. The diagnosis of RSD is based on history, clinical findings and imaging methods, but there is no golden standard method. Different diag­nostic modalities such as radiography, magnetic reso­nance imaging and three-phase bone scintigraphy can be used in the diagnosis. In this study, we present a case of RSD in 14-year-old boy whom was incidentally diagnosed by three-phase scintigraphy. We aimed to emphasize the difficulties of RSD diagnosis in children and the impor­tance of the three-phase bone scintigraphy in diagnosis.
