From the Brain Research Unit (Drs. Forss and Kirveskari), Low Temperature Laboratory, Helsinki University of Technology; Department of Clinical Neurosciences (Dr. Forss) and Division of Clinical Neurophysiology (Dr. Kirveskari), Helsinki University Central Hospital; Orthopaedic Hospital and Rehabilitation Unit of the Invalid Foundation (Dr. Gockel), Helsinki, Finland.

The spread of chronic pain from its initial site of presentation is common, but the mechanisms of the spread are unknown. Here the authors present neurophysiologic evidence of altered interhemispheric conduction in a patient with a mirror-like spread of complex regional pain syndrome symptoms.
