[Debatable issues in the diagnosis of angiotrophic neuropathies of the limbs].
On the basis of their rich personal material and the data in the literature, the authors point out the tendency to relate many types of angiotrophic neuroses to Raynaud's phenomenon disregarding their etiological and pathogenetic factors. Diagnostic errors occur particularly frequently in chronic chilblain of the limbs and its sequelae which are manifested by a characteristic complex of symptoms, successively changing vasomotor reactions in the distal parts of the limbs, the development of vegetative polyneuritis, and in severe cases also by affection of the motor apparatus of the hands. The disease is encountered mostly in workers working in the open air in subnormal temperature of the surroundings. The object of the communication is to focus attention on the groundlessness of the diagnosis of Raynaud's disease which is not a nosological form.
