Abstract

© 2022 Societatea Romana de Ultrasonografie in Medicina si Biologie. All rights reserved.Complex regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is a complex disease with articulate impact on the quality of life and its management is challenging. Ultrasound imaging can identify/assess different musculoskeletal structures that might have role in its pathogenesis. We present two cases of CRSP in whom B-mode ultrasonography and sonoelastography showed rigid retinacula associated with the symptomatology. Both patients were also/successfully treated with Fascial Manipulation.
