    Author: Karras D, Karargiris G, Vassilopoulos D, Karatzetzos C.
    Journal: J Rheumatol; 1993 Jan; 20(1):162-4. PubMed ID: 8441151.
    Abstract:
    A case of multifocal reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSDS) in a patient with the tarda form of osteogenesis imperfecta is described, followed by a review of the literature. Microfractures of the trabecular bone in these patients are proposed to be the initial stimulus in the pathogenesis of RSDS by a mechanism similar to the one involved in the pathogenesis of RSDS complicating other diseases associated with bone fragility.
