Nuclear imaging and clinical features of childhood reflex neurovascular dystrophy: comparison with adults.

Abstract
Reflex neurovascular dystrophy (RND) is less common in children than in adults, and differences in onset, clinical course, response to treatment, and degree of disability suggest a different pathogenesis. We have assessed the usefulness of nuclear imaging in 15 children with RND who were evaluated from March 1983 to September 1985. Abnormal findings on 3-phase bone scans were observed in 14 children, with diffusely decreased bone uptake at the symptomatic site being the most common observation. This contrasts sharply with previous reports of diffusely increased uptake in most adults with RND.
