[Arteriographic study of the hand in 52 cases of Raynaud's phenomenon of varying aetiology (author's transl)].

Digital occlusive arterial disease was demonstrated in all cases in which there was a precise aetiology and in many cases in which an aetiology could be suspected. However, the arteriogram was most often normal in cases of Raynaud's disease. Whilst the arterial lesions seen were not specific to a precise aetiology, their presence in a patient with Raynaud's phenomenon should lead to a search for a systemic disease, first and foremost scleroderma in view of the fact that it is the most common condition.
