    AbstractThe unusual case of reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome caused by an acute attack of gout is reported. The syndrome, involving the left ankle and hindfoot, developed twelve days after a classical gouty attack involving the first metatarso-phalangeal joint of the same foot. Diagnosis was based on X-ray and scintigraphic and MRI changes A prompt clinical remission was achieved with a short course of i.v. clodronate.
