[Raynaud's phenomenon with digital arteriographic signs in a 13 1/2 year old girl (author's transl)].
A Raynaud's phenomenon appeared when the girl was thirteen year old. There were neither clinical, nor biological sign of general underlying disease. Humeral arteriography performed on the sixth month of the disease demonstrated obstructive lesion on four collateral digital arteries. According to the literature's data, brachial angiography is very rarely performed in children and teen-agers with Raynaud's phenomenon. However this examination is the only one able to demonstrate the vascular alterations when clinical signs make it necessary. Moreover this examination perhaps provides etiologic orientation. When arteriography via humeral puncture is performed in suitable technic conditions, it appears to be fast and safe in children.
