Abstract

A case of reflex sympathetic dystrophy is presented in a 12-year-old girl with comorbid conversion disorder. Her identical twin also had a conversion disorder. This is the first reported case of coexistence of reflex sympathetic dystrophy and conversion disorder. It is important for clinicians to be aware that these conditions may coexist since the presentation of symptoms differ, even though there are shared features of treatment.
