Notes:
Summary 1. There is a high incidence of latent vasospastic changes in the hands of patients with DC regardless of the state of the disease. 2. The high incidence of vasospasm and ulnar nerve lesions in DC suggest, that in some ways these are related to the pathogenesis. 3. Comparing patients with a normal finger plethysmogram with those with a vasospastic vessel-reaction, there is no correlation concerning the ulnar nerve lesions in DC. Therefore we assume that these are independent constitutional factors. — 4. The disturbance in blood flow in the hand in DC is usually asymptomatic and is probably a different phenomenon from that seen in Raynaud's Syndrome.
