A 21 years old lady was admitted with severe pain and swelling of left lower limb in a pregnancy of 34 weeks of period of gestation. On examination there was pitting oedema of the whole left lower limb with extreme tenderness. Doppler USG of left femoral vein showed a thrombus in the process of recanalisation and no significant flow was demonstrated inside the lumen and USG for foetoplacental profile showed a single live foetus of gestational age 34 weeks. The case was diagnosed as deep venous thrombosis in pregnancy. She was treated with heparin injection 5000 unit subcutaneously twice daily throughout pregnancy along with antibiotics. In spite of proper management she developed extensive ulceration in left lower limb. She delivered normally a healty male child after induction with oxytocin dirp. The postpartum period was uneventful. Throughout this period heparin was continued and she was referred to surgery department for skin grafting.

The objective of this report is to represent a case of reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) secondary to the upper extremity deep venous thrombosis (DVT). A 21-year-old man admitted with the complaints of pain and swelling in his right upper limb was presented. The patient had been diagnosed DVT in the right subclavian vein. The thrombosis had recovered completely with the standard treatment of DVT and doppler ultrasound had revealed normal findings at follow-up. After few months, he developed limb edema and pain considering post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS). The patient showed no response to the treatments for PTS. He was diagnosed with RSD according to the clinical findings. The bone scan confirmed the diagnosis. He responded well to the physical therapy and therapeutic exercises program. RSD and PTS are the two conditions having some common features and resembling clinical pictures. RSD also should be kept in mind in differential diagnosis of patients who developed limb pain and edema after DVT. There are some different points in the characteristics of the common symptoms obtained in both of the clinical conditions. Bone scan can help to confirm the diagnosis if RSD is suspected. Because the treatments of two conditions are different, making the differential diagnosis is crucial.
