    (2014) Seyrek, Aslihan; Yemisci, Oya Umit; Sozay, Seyhan; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0501-5127; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8460-7699; AAJ-8820-2021; AAJ-2936-2021
    Background: Complex regional pain syndrome [CRPS] is a painful and disabling chronic neuropathic disorder, and unfortunately, due to its wide spectrum of clinical manifestations, the diagnosis may often be missed by primary-care physicians. To the authors' knowledge, there are no reported cases of CRPS following immunization with tetanus-diphteria toxoid booster vaccine in an adult. Findings: We present a 26-year-old woman with severe pain, swelling, and limited range of motion of the left forearm following a booster dose of the tetanus-diphteria toxoid vaccine. Conclusion: Disease awareness among practitioners, early recognition, and appropriate treatment is essential to minimize the risk of adverse outcome.
