Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a condition which
develops after a painful incident and characterized by allodynia/hyperalgesia,
edema, skin anomalies and anomaly in blood flow and abnormal sudomotor
activities independent of the precipitating incident. It is a rare condition in
pregnancy and difficult to distinguish from pelvis and lower extremity pains
which are inherent in pregnancy. Hips are typically involved, symmetrical
involvement of feet and ankles are rarely reported; has a benign course however
it is important to diagnose and treat due to fracture risk. Herein, we have
presented a 28-year-old patient who came to us in week 32 of her pregnancy and
gave birth in week 36 and diagnosed CRPS with bilateral involvement of foot and
ankle.
