A 15‐year‐old girl complained of swelling and shooting pains in the right upper extremity, which had bothered her for seven months. Physical examination revealed swelling, cyanosis, weakness and hyperesthesia over the entire right upper extremity. Serological and biochemical data were within nod limits. She was diagnosed as having reflex neurovascular dystrophy (RND). Psychological problems with school and her family might have contributed to the pathogenesis of the disease. With autogenic training (AT), remission was obtained within eighteen months.
