Abstract: Raynaud's syndrome, or Raynaud's phenomenon, is a vasospasm that reduces blood flow in response to cold or emotional stress, primarily affecting the hands. This causes discomfort such as cold, burning pain, paresthesias and reversible changes in the color of the fingers (pallor, cyanosis or erythema). Occasionally, it may involve feet, nose or tongue. Described by Maurice Raynaud in 1862, the episodes are triggered by cold, stress or vibrations, remitting when the cause is eliminated. It may be primary, more common and unrelated to other diseases, or secondary, associated with connective tissue diseases such as lupus or scleroderma
