Complex regional pain syndrome Type II(CRPS) can be diagnosed by new IASP criteria in l994. Sympathetically maintained pain may or may not be present in a patient with com- plex regional pain syndrome. We experienced a CRPS Type II patient who has sympathetically maintained pain as a major painful nature developed after right multiple iliac bone fracture right femoral artery thrombosis and lumbosacral plexus injury.
Combination treatment with L2, L3, L4 sympathetic ganglion block and continuous lower thoracic epidural block for 30 days were tried to get long term effect. The patient had signs of successful sympathetic denervation of the right foot. After that pain relief was sustained until three month later.
