[Reflex sympathetic dystrophy: psychological and psychopathologic features].
It has traditionally been accepted that a predisposing psychological field exists with the appearance of the reflex sympathetic dystrophy. Nevertheless, there is no unanimous agreement in this interpretation, since surveys exist unanimous are in favour the reactive character of the psychological effect on reflex sympathetic dystrophy. In this study, we revise literature already published on the subject, present arguments on the psychological evaluation tests carried out to date and propose the possibility of using other test unanimous are easier to manage and to interpret.

[Hypergammaglobulinemia D syndrome].
The hyperimmunoglobulinemia D syndrome is characterized by early onset of attacks of periodic fever and an elevated serum polyclonal Ig D (> 100 U/ml). Symptoms during attacks include joint involvements (arthralgia/arthritis), skin lesions, swollen lymph nodes, headache and abdominal complaints (vomiting, diarrhea and pain). The ethiopathogenia is unknown. It is transmitted by autosomal recessive inheritance. The hyperimmunoglobulinemia D syndrome should be distinguished from other periodic febrile syndroms such as systemic-onset juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, CINCA syndrome, FADA syndrome, familial mediterranean fever and adult-onset Still disease. There is no therapy for the syndrome but the prognosis is good because the frequency and severity of the attacks tends to diaeminish with age.

[RS3PE syndrome: report of 11 cases].
The RS3P syndrome or remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting oedema, was described in 1985 by McCarty. The description refers to a rheumatologic set of symptoms with an acute commence, with no erosive lesions, with seronegativity, affecting more frequently to elderly males and showing an excellent prognosis. These characteristics make it possible to difference from the rheumatoid arthritis and from the rheumatic polymyalgia. We present eleven cases which confirm the good prognosis already described, but we suggest the possibility of this syndrome could be a manifestation or the beginning of other possible diseases.

[Multiple osteonecrosis in a patient with chronic alcoholism].
The osteonecrosis is usually due to various precipitating circumstances or predisposing factors that quite often appear mixed, although it can also appear with no evident cause. In this report, we provide a case of multiple osteonecrosis caused by chronic alcoholism, we review the literature and go over the general characteristics of the aseptic necrosis.

[Algodystrophy in the child and the adolescent: the comparative aspects with that in the adult].
Algodystrophy is a pathology of the adult which rarely affects children. During childhood, it may appear between the ages of 3 and 16 years, with great prevalence among the female sex. It is usually associated to predisposing factors and the most frequent starting factor is of a traumatic nature. It affects mainly the lower limbs. From a clinical perspective, it is characterized by hyperesthesia and cutaneous hypothermia. The radiological findings are usually normal during the whole evolution and the bone gammagraphy usually shows hypofixation. The evolution is generally favourable. It can be clearly distinguished from algodystrophy in the adult due to its higher prevalence among the female sex, the already mentioned clinical aspects, the radiological normality and the isotopic hypofixation.
Adolescent↗
[Hip algodystrophy and pregnancy].
Pregnancy is a potential cause of hip algodystrophy. Mechanical loco-regional factors, as well as other potential factors, can explain this preference for the hip. This pathology must be always kept in mind when attending a pregnant patient or a patient with inguino-crural pain and functional impotence during the postpartum.
