Abstrakt: Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a painful clinical condition that usually appears in the distal extremity and is characterized by sensory, motor, autonomic, and trophic symptoms initiated by a trigger stimulus. The disorder is divided into two as Type 1 and Type 2 CRPS. Unlike Type 1 CRPS, peripheral nerve damage is observed in Type 2 CRPS. The etiology of CRPS often includes causes such as trauma, fracture, surgical intervention, immobilization, and stroke. The diagnosis of CRPS is usually made clinically, based on the anamnesis and examination findings of the patient. Success in treatment depends on early diagnosis and the prevention of complications. In this report, a rare case of Type 1 CRPS due to radial and ulnar artery thrombosis is presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
