Table II: Raynaud’s phenomenon classification:Primary Raynaud’s phenomenon (fig 1): young women below 30 years, attacks are symmetric and limited in time, no tissue lesions (digital pitting scars, teleangectasia) and no complications (digital ulcers, necrosis/gangrene) on the extremities, capillaroscopy normal, antinuclear antibodies negative, history and clinical examination negative, erythrocyte sedimentation rate normalSecondary Raynaud’s phenomenon: age over 30 years, attacks are asymmetric, extremely painful and prolonged in time, associated with digital lesions and some time with complications, auto-antibodies positive, capillaroscopic changes, clinical features characteristic of a connective tissue disease or another disease (fig …). The following are the possible causes of secondary RP:Autoimmune/Connective tissue diseases: Systemic sclerosis , Systemic lupus erythematosus, Dermatomyositis, polymyositis, Siogren’s syndrome, Primary biliary cirrhosisJoint diseases: Rheumatoid arthritis Arterial diseases: Thromboangiitis obliterans (Buerger’s disease), Takayasu aortitis, Giant cell arteritis Brachiocephalic atherosclerosis, Migraine or vascular headaches, Prinzmetal anginaMechanical : Vibration (Hand arm vibration syndrome), Crutch pressure, Thoracic outlet syndrome, scalenus anticus syndrome, cervical rib, carpal tunnel syndrome.Temperature: Frost bite Endocrine disorders: Carcinoid syndrome, Pheochromocytoma, HypothyroidismNeoplasias: ovarian carcinoma, angiocentric lymphomaRheological and coagulation disorders: cryoglobulins, cryofibrinogenaemia, cold agglutinins, paraproteinaemia, plasmacytoma, polycythaemia, micro thromboembolism, Protein C, Protein S & Antithrombin III deficiency, Factor V LeidenInfections: Parvovirus B19 , Helicobacter pylori , Hepatitis C and B, mycoplasma (agglutinins)Chemicals : Polyvinyl chloride, toluene, xylene, acetoneDrugs: Bleomycin, Vinblastine, b blockers, Ergots, Methysergide, Interferon a & b, Tegafur, amphetamines, cyclosporine A, cocaine.

Raynaud’s phenomenon in SSc• 12% of patients with RP develop SSc1
• Commonly the first clinical sign of SSc2
• Occurs in ~96% of SSc patients3
• Precedes the first non-RP clinical feature of SSc by several years3
– 4.8 years in lcSSc– 1.9 years in dcSSc

Autoantibodies and microvascular damage are independent predictive factors for the progression of Raynaud's phenomenon to systemic sclerosis: a twenty-year prospective study of 586 patients,
with validation of proposed criteria for early systemic sclerosis.
In RP evolving to definite SSc, microvascular damage is dynamic and sequential, while SSc specific autoantibodies are associated with the course and type of capillary abnormalities.
Abnormal findings on NCM at baseline together with an SSc-specific autoantibody indicate a very high probability of developing definite SSc, whereas their absence rules out this outcome.
Of the 586 patients who were followed up for 3,197 person-years, 74 (12.6%) developed definite SSc.
At followup, 79.5% of patients with 1 of these autoantibodies and abnormal findings on NCM at baseline had developed definite SSc.

1. Diagnosi è difficile e speso ritardata2. 3. F Raynaud’s ph è il primo segno della fase precoce della
malattia 4. “red flags” devono sempre indurre sospetto di una malattia
molto precoce !5. Di fronte ad un F Raynaud deve essere condotta una attenta
DD per differenziare una forma primaria da una secondaria6. L’indagine sulla condizione degli organi interni è
fondamentale per comprendere se la malattia è evoluta verso una forma precoce
7. Il follow up dei pazienti è necessario per comprendere l’evoluzione della malattia
Fatti…
