Q

ETIOLOGY of Raynaud’s disease

A

Not exactly known, Certain factors are suggested :

  1. Sensitivity of the small arteries and arterioles of the hands, and less commonly the feet, to cold.
  2. Increased sympathetic tone.
  3. Psychological instability.
  4. The presence of cold agglutinins in the blood which cause agglutination of RBCs on exposure to a low temperature.

Q

Pathogenesis of Redness in 3 consecutive phases in History in DIAGNOSIS of Raynaud’s disease

A

As the attack passes off, the arterioles dilate “under the effect of metabolites” and oxygenated blood passes into the dilated
capillaries

Q

Outcomes of Cervico-dorsal sympathectomy in TREATMENT of Raynaud’s disease

A
  • Its immediate results are good

* but usually the symptoms recur after sometime, but are at least, not severe

21
Q

Definition of Raynaud’s phenomenon

A

Colour changes similar to those of Raynaud’s disease may accompany a large group of organic diseases.

22
Q

Causes of Raynaud’s phenomenon

A
  1. Thoracic outlet syndrome.
  2. Buerger’s disease.
  3. Collagen diseases as rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, SLE.
  4. Cryogloubulinaemia.
  5. Drugs as chronic administration of ergot-containing drugs for migraine.
  6. Certain occupations as typists, pianists & laborers using vibrating tools.
  7. Atrophic disorders of limbs, e.g. after poliomyelitis
23
Q

Treatment of Raynaud’s phenomenon

A
  • Treatment of the cause

* Vasodilators and B-blockers are prescribed

24
Q

Difference between acrocyanosis and Raynaud’s disease

A
  1. Not paroxysmal.
  2. It affects hands, nose, ears & L.L.
  3. Initial stage of pallor is absent.

4- The attack is painless & pain occurs after the attack.

  1. Accompanied by paraesthesia.
  2. In between the attacks the hands are colder than normal & there is excessive sweating of the palms.
25
Q

Treatment of acrocyanosis

A

Sympathectomy is less effective than in Raynaud’s disease.
