RESUMEN
El síndrome de dolor regional complejo es una entidad clínica difícil de diagnosticar, especialmente cuando no se está familiarizado con el término. Para poder identificarlo es necesario conocerlo; produce un dolor espontáneo que cursa con hiperalgesia y alodinia como fenómenos distorsionados sensoriales, variaciones de flujo sanguíneo, sudoración y cambios tróficos por un estado inflamatorio localizado seguido por una etapa de desórdenes crónicos neuropáticos. Su presencia está relacionada más frecuentemente a un trauma inespecífico o un daño directo sobre una estructura nerviosa en las extremidades. Clásicamente es dividido en dos formas: Tipo I, anteriormente denominado Distrofia simpática refleja y el Tipo II, más conocido por el término de Causalgia. No ha sido posible establecer su fisiopatología, sin embargo se reconoce que se involucra todo el sistema nervioso para su instauración. Dentro de la práctica diaria del médico forense costarricense, se presenta la valoración de daño corporal en el ámbito laboral, penal y contencioso administrativo, por lo que es trascendental aprender a identificarlo, pues hay casos con factores en los cuales este síndrome puede ser planteado como secuela directa.
ABSTRACT
The complex regional pain syndrome is a clinical entity that is difficult to diagnose, especially when you are not familiar with the term. In order to identify it, it is necessary to know it well. It produces spontaneous pain like hyperalgesia and allodinya causing sensory distorted phenomena, variations of blood flow, sweating, and trophic changes by a localized inflammatory condition, followed by a stage of chronic neuropathic disorders. Its presence is most often related to an unspecified trauma or direct damage to a nerve structure in the extremities. Generally, it is divided in two forms: type I, formerly known as reflex sympathethic dystrophy, and type II, better known as causalgia. Though it has not been possible to establish its pathophysiology, it is recognized that the entire nervous system is involved. In daily practice, a Costa Rican forensic doctor is presented with the assessment of bodily harm in the fields of work accidents, criminal agressions, and administrative litigation. Since there are cases in which this syndrome may be directly related, it is extremely important to learn how to identify it successfully.
